Morphology

blasted = blast (semi-transparent) = blast + ed

Formally derived from 'blast' + -ed, but the adjectival intensifier meaning ('damned' or 'very') is a semantic shift not predictable from the literal sense.

Etymology

Blasted comes from the common word blast, which first meant a strong 'blow' or sudden 'wind' and later came to mean 'to destroy' or even 'to curse' someone. So calling something blasted is like calling it 'damned' or 'ruined', a quick angry word used to show annoyance or strong feeling.
