喜樂美語

One way to hold this side of the word: it is an answer to the question what sort of head is on this? Put a number in front and you get how many — a two-headed snake. Put a colour or a shape in front and you get what is growing up there — red-headed, curly-headed. Move the question from the outside of the head to the inside and you get what sort of thinking is in there — level-headed, hot-headed. And because the top of a sheet of paper is also called its head, the same question can be asked of paper: headed paper is paper whose top has already been printed.

這一邊的 headed 可以想成在回答一個問題：「它裝著什麼樣的頭？」前面放數字，答的是幾顆——a two-headed snake。前面放顏色或形狀，答的是頭上長什麼——red-headed、curly-headed。把問題從頭的外面移到裡面，答的就變成腦袋怎麼運作——level-headed、hot-headed。而紙張最上面那一塊英文也叫 head，所以同一個問題也可以問紙：headed paper 就是「頭已經印好了的紙」。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary gives this side as head (noun) + -ed, with head going back through Middle English heed and Old English heafod.

資料把這一邊拆成 head（名詞）加 -ed，head 再往上追到中古英文 heed、古英文 heafod。所以 -ed 在這裡不是過去式，而是「帶著、有」的意思。
