Morphology

fibered = fiber (semi-transparent) = fiber + ed

Morphologically regular derivation from 'fiber', but the mathematical meaning ('arranged as a fibration') is technical and requires subject-specific knowledge.

Etymology

Fibered comes from fiber, 'thread', and in math people imagine a shape made of many small 'threads' or layers over another space. So a fibered space is one that is built from these fiber 'threads' laid over a base shape.
