Morphology

capped = cap (transparent) = cap + ed

Regular adjectival/past-participle formation from the verb 'cap'; meaning 'covered with a cap' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word capped comes from cap, which comes from the old Latin caput meaning 'head'. Think of a hill or mushroom 'wearing' a small 'hat', so when something is capped it is covered on top like it has a hat.
