Morphology

berobed = robe (transparent) = be + robe + ed

The prefix 'be-' is used to indicate a state of being dressed in something.

Etymology

Berobed comes from the word part be- meaning 'to cover or make' and robe meaning 'a long, loose garment' like a gown. So, to be berobed is to be 'covered in a robe', often for a formal or religious occasion.
