Morphology

coveralled = coverall (semi-transparent) = cover + all + ed

Formed by the productive suffix '-ed' added to the noun 'coverall' to create a past-participial/adjectival form meaning 'having coveralls' or 'covered by coveralls'.

Etymology

Coveralled is a helpful way to remember the idea 'covered all' because it combines the familiar word cover and all. So, coveralled means completely coated or covered from head to toe.
