Morphology

lighted = light (transparent) = light + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'light' meaning 'to set on fire', so the adjective 'lighted' meaning 'set afire' is directly derived.

Etymology

Lighted comes from the verb light, which means 'to make bright' or 'set on fire'. Think of using a lighter to start a candle, so when something is lighted it has been made to burn and give light.
