Morphology

gridded = grid (transparent) = grid + ed

Derived by the regular addition of '-ed' to 'grid' to indicate 'fitted with' or 'covered by' a grid, a straightforward adjectival/past-participial formation.

Etymology

Gridded comes from the word grid, which first meant a 'gridiron', a frame of bars used to hold or protect things. That's why a gridded fence or ceiling is covered or fitted with a frame of bars or lines for 'support' and safety.
