Morphology

crushed = crush (transparent) = crush + ed

This adjectival use describes fabric that has been physically 'crushed' to create a texture, a straightforward past-participial derivation.

Etymology

The word crushed comes from an old word crush meaning 'to press' or 'squeeze', and cloth was often pressed this way to make permanent folds or a soft, textured look, as in crushed velvet. So crushed fabric keeps a wrinkled, pressed appearance.
