Morphology

coroneted = coronet (transparent) = coronet + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' to the noun 'coronet', yielding 'having or wearing a coronet', which is a straightforward, predictable derivation for learners.

Etymology

Coroneted comes from coronet, which comes from Latin corona meaning 'crown', with the small ending -et that makes coronet a 'small crown'. So to be coroneted is to wear or be allowed to wear a 'small crown', showing noble rank.
