Morphology

violet-scented = violet + scented (transparent) = violet + scent + ed

Formed by compounding 'violet' with 'scented' (itself from 'scent' + '-ed'), the meaning 'having a fragrance like violets' is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word violet-scented starts with violet, the small purple flower, and ends with scented, from scent, which means 'smell'. So violet-scented describes something that has a 'smell' like violets.
