Morphology

domed = dome (transparent) = dome + ed

Formed by the noun 'dome' plus the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed'; meaning 'having the form of a dome' is directly derived and obvious to learners.

Etymology

Domed comes from dome, which traces back to old words like Latin domus and Greek domos meaning 'house' or 'roof'. So a domed thing simply has a rounded 'roof' or top, like the curved roof of a building or a turtle's shell.
