Morphology

broiled = broil (transparent) = broil + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participial/adjectival form of the verb 'broil', so its meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Broiled comes from an old word meaning 'to boil' or 'to bubble' and is like the common word boil. Because that old idea is about very strong heat, broiled now means food cooked by direct hot heat, for example under a grill.
