Morphology

haired = hair (transparent) = hair + ed

Regular adjective formed from the noun 'hair' with the productive suffix '-ed' meaning 'having [specified] hair', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Haired comes from the simple word hair plus the ending -ed, where -ed here means 'having'. You often see it in combinations like dark-haired or long-haired, so haired simply means 'having' a certain kind or amount of hair.
