Etymology

The word packaged derives from package, which originated in the mid-16th century from the Dutch pakkage (a bundle or parcel) and the verb pakken (to pack). The suffix -d marks the past tense or past participle form in English. The morpheme package retains its core meaning of bundling or preparing items for distribution, while the -d suffix indicates completed action.
