Morphology

glazed = glaze (transparent) = glaze + ed

The adjective describes the physical result of applying a glaze, a straightforward past-participle formation from 'glaze'.

Etymology

Glazed comes from an old word for glass, meaning 'glass-like' or shiny, so a glazed surface is smooth and reflective like glass whether on pottery, furniture, or tiles.
