Morphology

arrowed = arrow (transparent) = arrow + ed

The adjective is the past-participial/adjectival form of the verb 'arrow', so the meaning 'shaped like an arrow' is transparently derived.

Etymology

Arrowed comes from arrow and arrowhead, both words for a pointed shape, so picture the narrow tip of an arrow. So something arrowed is 'shaped like an arrow' or ends in a sharp point.
