The adjective is a regular participial form of the verb 'desegregate' and directly means 'having been desegregated'.

Desegregated starts with de-, which means 'remove', and contains greg from a Latin word for 'group' or 'flock', just like the English word group. So to be desegregated is to have 'removed' the separation between groups, making a place open to all.
