Morphology
fuzzed = fuzz (transparent) = fuzz + ed
The adjective is directly derived from the verb/noun 'fuzz' by the regular -ed participial/suffixed formation meaning 'covered with fuzz'.
Etymology
Fuzzed comes from the simple word fuzz, which means 'soft, fine hair', and the ending -ed turns it into a description, like the everyday word fuzzy. So something fuzzed is 'covered with soft, downy hair' and feels soft to the touch.
