Morphology

long-branched = long + branched (transparent) = long + branch + ed

The components 'long' + 'branch' plus the adjectival '-ed' yield the straightforward meaning 'having long branches'.

Etymology

Long-branched is made from the simple words long ('long') and branch ('a limb of a tree'). So it literally means 'having long branches', and you can remember it by picturing a tree with long arms reaching out.
