Morphology

bandaged = bandage (transparent) = bandage + ed

Formed by adding the regular past-participle/adjectival '-ed' to the verb 'bandage', so the meaning 'covered or wrapped with a bandage' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Bandaged comes from bandage, which is built on the simple word band meaning a 'strip' of cloth used to wrap a wound. So, to be bandaged is to be 'wrapped' with that strip to protect the injury.
