Morphology

bargain-priced = bargain + price (transparent) = bargain + price + ed

Formed from the compound idea 'bargain price' plus the adjectival past-participle '-ed', meaning 'priced like a bargain', which is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

Bargain-priced comes from the word bargain, meaning a 'deal' to buy something for less, and priced, meaning 'having a price'. So, bargain-priced describes something given a low price or sold for less than usual.
