Morphology

gloved = glove (transparent) = glove + ed

The adjective is the standard -ed form derived from 'glove' meaning 'wearing or covered with gloves', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Gloved comes from the simple word glove, which means 'a covering for the hand', plus the ending -ed, so it literally means 'wearing a glove' or having the hands covered.
