Morphology

curtained = curtain (transparent) = curtain + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participial/adjectival formation from 'curtain' meaning 'having or covered with curtains', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Curtained comes from curtain, which in turn comes from the older Latin word cortina, meaning a 'cover' or a 'thing that closes off a space'. So a 'curtained' room or window is one that is covered or partly hidden by curtains.
