Morphology

greased = grease (transparent) = grease + ed

The adjective is the past participle/adjectival use of the verb 'grease' formed with the regular suffix '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

Greased comes from the common word grease, which used to mean 'fat' or 'oil'. So when something is greased, it is covered with oil to help it move or slide more smoothly.
