Morphology
ill-mannered = mannered (transparent) = ill + manner + ed
The adjective is formed by prefixing 'ill-' (bad) to 'mannered', so the meaning 'badly behaved' follows directly from its parts.
Etymology
Ill-mannered comes from the two parts ill meaning 'bad' and manner meaning 'way of behaving'. So it describes someone who has a 'bad way of behaving', which is why it means rude or impolite.
