Morphology

fugued = fugue (semi-transparent) = fugue + ed

Morphologically 'fugue' + '-ed' is clear, but the psychiatric sense depends on specialized knowledge and may not be inferable by learners familiar only with the musical sense.

Etymology

Fugued comes from the Latin root fug meaning 'to flee', the same idea behind fugitive. It describes a state when a person's mind seems to 'run away' from the present, so they become dissociated or unaware.
