Morphology

blistered = blister (transparent) = blister + ed

Regular past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'blister' meaning 'having blisters'.

Etymology

Blistered comes from an old word for a 'bubble' or small 'blister', like a tiny pocket of liquid, and it is the same image you see in a bubble. So when peppers, paint, or skin are blistered, they have raised, bubble-like spots caused by heat, moisture, or friction.
