Morphology

leafed = leaf (transparent) = leaf + ed

The adjective is a productive formation from 'leaf' + '-ed' meaning 'having leaves' and is directly inferable by learners who know 'leaf'.

Etymology

Leafed comes from the simple English word leaf, which means 'a green flat part of a plant', plus the ending -ed that here means 'having' or 'full of'. So a leafed plant is one that 'has leaves', as in leafy or 'broad-leafed'.
