Morphology

crossbarred = crossbar (transparent) = cross + bar + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to the noun 'crossbar'; the meaning 'having crossbars' is directly and predictably derived.

Etymology

The word crossbarred comes from the simple parts cross 'across', bar 'a straight piece', and -ed showing 'having'. So crossbarred means having or marked with bars that go across, like the crossbar on a goal or the bars on a window.
