Morphology

angled = angle (transparent) = angle + ed

Formed by the adjective/participial suffix '-ed' on 'angle', meaning 'having or set at an angle', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Angled comes from the simple word angle, which long ago meant 'corner' or 'bend'. So when something is angled it is set at a slant or at a particular corner, not straight up and down.
