Morphology

joined = join (transparent) = join + ed

The adjective is formed from the verb 'join' using the regular past-participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', so its meaning 'connected' is directly derived.

Etymology

Joined comes from an old Latin word jungere meaning 'to join', and it is the same root as the word joint. So, when things are joined, they are 'connected' together to make one piece.
