Is the word learned an adjective?

Yes, "learned" can be an adjective.

It's a bit tricky because "learned" can also be the past participle of the verb "to learn." Here's how to tell the difference:

* Adjective: "Learned" describes a noun. For example: "He is a learned man." (meaning he has much knowledge)

* Past participle: "Learned" acts as part of a verb phrase. For example: "I have learned a lot."

So, the context determines whether "learned" is an adjective or a past participle.
