Morphology

herbed = herb (transparent) = herb + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ed' to 'herb', meaning 'flavored with or containing herbs', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Herbed comes from the everyday word herb, which comes from the Latin herba meaning 'plant' or 'grass'. So a herbed dish is one that has small plants like rosemary, basil, or mint added for flavor.
