Morphology

diademed = diadem (transparent) = diadem + ed

Formed by the productive suffix '-ed' on the noun 'diadem' meaning 'wearing or adorned with a diadem', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Diademed comes from diadem, an old Greek word for a 'band' tied around the head, like a royal 'headband' or crown. So, to be diademed is to be 'wearing a crown or diadem'.
