Morphology

drawn = draw (transparent) = draw + n

A direct past-participle/adjectival formation from 'draw' meaning 'to pull'; for curtains 'drawn' literally means 'pulled shut'.

Etymology

Drawn comes from the verb draw, which means 'to pull', so curtains or shades that are drawn are literally 'pulled' shut to block light.
