Morphology

gridded = grid (transparent) = grid + ed

Formed by adding the regular adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to 'grid', so the meaning is directly derived from 'grid'.

Etymology

Gridded comes from the word grid, which originally named a 'gridiron', a metal frame of bars with lines. So something gridded is divided or marked by that same 'pattern of lines', like a map or table.
