Morphology

laced = lace (transparent) = lace + ed

Derived from the verb 'lace' used in the sense 'to interweave or ornament', so 'laced with gold' is directly interpreted as 'interwoven/ornamented with gold'.

Etymology

Laced can also mean 'edged' or 'streaked' with another color and comes from lace, a decorative thread or small cloth. So if a cloth is laced with silver, it has thin threads or lines of that color woven through it.
