Morphology

honied = honey (transparent) = honey + ed

Meaning is directly derived from the noun 'honey' plus the adjectival/participial suffix '-ed' indicating 'containing or mixed with honey'.

Etymology

Honied comes from honey ('sweet sticky substance made by bees') plus the ending -ed meaning 'having' or 'covered with'. So something honied is 'made with or covered in honey', which helps you remember it will taste sweet and a little sticky.
