Morphology

foiled = foil (transparent) = foil + ed

Formed by adding -ed to the noun 'foil' to mean 'covered with foil', which is a straightforward, deducible relationship.

Etymology

Foiled: The word foiled for something covered with thin metal comes from the Latin folium meaning 'leaf', because a thin sheet of metal is like a tiny metal 'leaf'. So, foiled means 'covered with a thin, leaf-like metal layer', which is why wrappers and shiny print are called foiled.
