Surface Forms

low-thoughted positive

Morphology

low-thoughted = low + thought (transparent) = low + thought + ed

The adjective is directly built from the compound idea 'low' + 'thought' plus the adjectival '-ed', so its meaning ('having low or shallow thought') is predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Low-thoughted is made from low ('not high') and thought ('thinking'), painting a picture of thinking that stays close to the surface instead of going deep. So low-thoughted means simple or shallow thinking, lacking intelligence or real insight.
