Morphology
mustachioed = mustachio (transparent) = mustachio + ed
Formed from the noun 'mustachio' with the adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having a mustachio', which is straightforward for learners.
Etymology
Mustachioed comes from the simple English word mustache plus the ending -ed, so it literally means 'having a moustache'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of mustachioed like bearded: both say someone is 'with' a type of face hair.
