Morphology

fluted = flute (transparent) = flute + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival '-ed' to the noun 'flute' to mean 'having a flute-like tone', which a learner who knows 'flute' can infer.

Etymology

Fluted comes from the instrument flute, so when a voice or sound is described as 'flute-like' it means clear and sweet, like music from a small wind instrument.
