Morphology

clothed = clothe (transparent) = clothe + ed

This adjectival use is derived from the verb 'clothe' with the regular past-participle/ -ed formation, so the relation is straightforward.

Etymology

Clothed comes from an old English word for 'cloth' and is related to the modern words cloth and clothing. That's why we can say a mountain is clothed in snow — it is 'covered' as if wearing a coat.
