Morphology

annulated = annulate (semi-transparent) = annul + ate + ed

Forming the participial/adjectival 'annulated' from the adjective/verb 'annulate' by adding -ed is a regular and transparent morphological operation.

Etymology

Annulated comes from the Latin word annulus, which means 'ring'. So something annulated has rings or ring-like bands around it, like a bracelet or the rings on a tree, which is why it means 'ring-shaped'.
