Morphology

banded = band (transparent) = band + ed

Clear adjectival formation from 'band' + '-ed' meaning 'having bands' or 'marked with bands'.

Etymology

The word banded comes from the simple word band, which once meant 'a strip' or 'something that binds', and you can see the same idea in bandage or wristband. So a banded animal or rock has stripes or rings, as if it were wrapped or tied with bands.
