Morphology

pumped = pump (semi-transparent) = pump + ed

The adjective comes from the verb 'pump' with -ed, but the 'very excited' sense is a figurative (informal) extension via 'pump up' and is not fully predictable from the literal verb.

Etymology

Pumped comes from the verb pump, which means 'to push air or water into something', like when you fill a tire or a ball. So to be pumped is to be 'filled up' with energy or excitement.
