Surface Forms

bonneted positive

Morphology

bonneted = bonnet (transparent) = bonnet + ed

Formed from the noun 'bonnet' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', meaning 'wearing or having a bonnet', which is directly derivable by learners.

Etymology

Bonneted comes from the older word bonnet, a small 'cap' people once wore on their heads, and the ending -ed means 'having' or 'wearing'. So if something is bonneted, it simply has a bonnet or a top covering like a cap.
