Morphology

framed = frame (transparent) = frame + ed

The adjective derives directly from the verb 'frame' with a standard past-participial/adjectival '-ed' forming 'enclosed or bordered with a frame.'

Etymology

Framed comes from the word frame, which used to mean 'to make' or 'shape' and now means a border or structure that holds something. So when something is framed, it is 'enclosed' in that border for support or decoration.
