Morphology

dighted = dight (transparent) = dight + ed

Formed regularly from the verb 'dight' with the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed'; the meaning 'dressed' follows directly from the base.

Etymology

Dighted comes from the old English verb dight, which meant 'to dress' or 'prepare'. So to be dighted is to be 'dressed' or 'made ready', often in a poetic or old-fashioned way, like a knight put on shining armor.
