Morphology

smoke-dried = smoke + dry (transparent) = smoke + dry + ed

The compound 'smoke' + 'dry' with the participial suffix '-ed' clearly means 'dried by smoke', a straightforward compositional meaning.

Etymology

The word smoke-dried comes from the two words smoke ('smoke from burning wood') and dried ('made dry'). People hang meat or fish in a smoky place so it dries and is preserved, so smoke-dried food has a smoky taste and lasts longer.
