Morphology
crosshatched = crosshatch (semi-transparent) = cross + hatch + ed
Formed by regular past-participle/adjectival -ed on the verb 'crosshatch', straightforwardly meaning 'having been crosshatched'.
Etymology
Crosshatched comes from cross- meaning 'across' and hatched meaning 'made of short lines' used to shade drawings, so a crosshatched area is shaded by sets of lines that cross each other.
