Morphology

fashioned = fashion (transparent) = fashion + ed

Regular adjective formed from the verb 'fashion' by adding the past-participle suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'made or shaped' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Fashioned comes from fashion, which comes from the old Latin root facere meaning 'to make'. So, when something is fashioned it is 'made' or 'shaped' in a particular way, often with skill, much like a product from a factory but usually made with more care.
