Morphology

peopled = people (transparent) = people + ed

This is a regular participial adjective from the verb 'people', meaning inhabited or filled with people.

Etymology

Peopled comes from the common word people plus the ending -ed, so it literally means 'filled with people' or 'inhabited'. That's why we use peopled to describe a place or a story that is full of people.
