Morphology

brassed = brass (opaque) = brass + ed

Although the form is 'brass' + '-ed', the idiomatic meaning 'very annoyed' is non-literal and cannot be inferred from the metal-related sense.

Etymology

Brassed as slang comes from the British phrase brassed off, which means 'fed up'; a helpful way to remember it is to think of someone saying they are 'brassed off' when they are very annoyed, so brassed means very upset or angry.
