Morphology

fused = fuse (transparent) = fuse + ed

The adjective is directly formed from the past participle of the verb 'fuse', so its meaning 'joined together' is directly derived.

Etymology

Fused comes from the old Latin verb fundere, which means 'to pour' or 'to melt' and is the same root you see in the English word fusion. Think of two pieces of metal being melted and poured so they become one piece, and that image helps explain why fused means 'joined together' or 'melted into one'.
