Morphology

bangled = bangle (transparent) = bangle + ed

Formed by adding the adjective/participle suffix '-ed' to the noun 'bangle', meaning 'having or wearing bangles', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word bangled comes from bangle, a word English borrowed from Indian languages for a round 'bracelet' worn on the wrist. So if someone is bangled, they are wearing or decorated with 'bangles', which helps you picture shiny wrist bracelets.
