Morphology

headed = head (semi-transparent) = head + ed

Built from 'head' + '-ed', but the usage ('provided with something serving as a head' or as part of compounds) is somewhat specialized or lexicalized.

Etymology

Headed is made from head meaning 'head' and -ed meaning 'having', so in compounds like 'three-headed' it means 'having a head of a certain kind', and in 'cool-headed' it means 'having a calm head'.
