Morphology
dashed = dash (transparent) = dash + ed
The adjective 'dashed' is transparently derived from the noun 'dash' with the suffix '-ed' indicating a quality or state.
Etymology
Dashed comes from the word dash, which once meant a quick stroke or mark, like a fast hit of ink or a sudden movement. So a dashed line is simply a line made of many short 'dashes' or 'short strokes', which is why it looks broken with small gaps.
