Morphology

kerneled = kernel (semi-transparent) = kernel + ed

The form is a regular past-participial '-ed' of the verb 'kernel' (a denominal verb), but the sense is specialized to computing and may not be inferable by general learners merely from the base noun.

Etymology

Kerneled in tech comes from kernel meaning a small 'core' or 'center', like the seed at the heart of a fruit. So to be kerneled means being put into the operating system's central part to run with more control.
