Morphology

chapped = chap (transparent) = chap + ed

A regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'chap'; the meaning 'having become cracked or rough' follows directly.

Etymology

Chapped comes from the old verb chap, which meant 'to crack' or 'to make sore'. So skin that is chapped is skin that has been cracked and dried by cold or wind.
