Morphology
beringed = ringed (transparent) = be + ring + ed
Formed by the productive prefix 'be-' added to 'ringed' (ring + -ed); meaning 'wearing rings' is directly inferable from the parts.
Etymology
Beringed comes from the prefix be- meaning 'to have' and ring meaning 'a circular band'. So a beringed person is 'wearing rings', especially on the fingers.
