PeachPie 🍑Whats that thing where words like perceived deserved are stacked and what are they?

Are those verbs or adjectives or adverbs? I only know most grammar non-declaritively so i have no idea what they are, not concerned about its correctness or what it implies to others
Example: the dude felt shadenfreud over his enemy’s perceived deserved downfall
I think they’re adverbs modifying “downfall” (though the primary verb is “felt").
Nouns are modified by adjectives. Adjectives, adverbs, and verbs are modified by adverbs.
Downfall - noun
Deserved - adjective
Perceived - adverb
Thanks, I was struggling to define the class of each word (that English class with diagramming was a looong time ago)
