Morphology

blanketed = blanket (transparent) = blanket + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'blanket' meaning 'to cover,' so the meaning 'covered with a blanket' is directly derived.

Etymology

Blanketed comes from the noun blanket, which originally meant a small cloth from the word blanc meaning 'white'. So to be blanketed is to be covered as if by a blanket, completely hiding what is under it.
