Morphology

dome-shaped = dome-shape (transparent) = dome + shape + ed

The word is formed by adding the suffix '-ed' to 'dome-shape', clearly indicating something having the shape of a dome.

Etymology

The word dome-shaped comes from dome, which comes from an old word for a large house or cathedral like Italian duomo, buildings that often have a round roof. So dome-shaped means 'rounded' or 'like the curved roof of a dome'.
