Morphology

bepimpled = pimpled (semi-transparent) = be + pimple + ed

The prefix 'be-' indicates covering with or having, but the specific sense of 'bepimpled' as applied to objects is not entirely intuitive.

Etymology

The word bepimpled comes from the prefix be- meaning 'covered with' and the word pimple meaning 'a small raised spot'. So a bepimpled object is 'covered with small bumps', whether it is stone, metal or cake icing.
