Morphology

bronzed = bronze (transparent) = bronze + ed

The adjective is the past participle/adjective form of the verb 'bronze' and directly means 'made or become bronze-coloured'.

Etymology

The word bronzed comes from the metal bronze, a warm brown metal whose color was used as the name of that brown shade. That's why bronzed means having a 'brown' or 'tanned' skin after time in the sun.
