Morphology

engined = engine (transparent) = engine + ed

Standard adjective formation from the noun 'engine' with '-ed', meaning 'having or equipped with an engine', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Engined starts with engine, which means a machine that makes power. That engine comes from an old Latin word for a 'clever device', the same idea behind ingenious, so engined simply means 'having one or more engines', as in 'twin-engined' for a vehicle with two engines.
