Morphology

bulleted = bullet (transparent) = bullet + ed

Clearly formed from the noun 'bullet' with the adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed' meaning 'having bullets (points)'.

Etymology

Bulleted comes from bullet, which originally meant a 'little ball' and later a small metal shot. Printers made a tiny round mark that looked like a little bullet to show each item in a list, so bulleted means 'having small dots or symbols' to make items clear.
