Morphology

eyeleted = eyelet (transparent) = eyelet + ed

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'eyelet' with the standard adjectival/participial suffix '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word eyeleted comes from eye and the small ending -let, which means 'small', as in piglet, so an eyelet is a 'small eye' — a little hole often made stronger with a metal ring or by being sewn. That's why eyeleted means having small holes made stronger, used for decoration or for fastening.
