Morphology

cassocked = cassock (transparent) = cassock + ed

The adjective is formed regularly from the noun 'cassock' with '-ed' meaning 'wearing or having', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Cassocked comes from cassock, which comes from an old French word casaque meaning 'long coat' or robe, and the ending -ed means 'wearing'. So, cassocked simply means 'wearing the long, close-fitting garment' that priests and other church officials wear.
