Morphology

coated = coat (transparent) = coat + ed

A standard adjectival/past-participle formation from the verb 'coat', meaning 'having a coat or layer'.

Etymology

Coated comes from the word coat, meaning a 'cover' or 'garment', so something coated is given a layer or is 'wearing' a cover. That's why we call a fur-coated parka or fries 'coated' when they have a layer of fur or seasoning.
