Morphology

cabbaged = cabbage (opaque) = cabbage + ed

The adjectival meaning 'extremely tired' does not follow transparently from the vegetable 'cabbage' and reflects an idiomatic or slang shift.

Etymology

Cabbaged comes from the vegetable cabbage, and a helpful way to remember it is to imagine your 'brain' turned soft like cooked cabbage. So, if you are cabbaged you are very tired and cannot think clearly.
