Surface Forms

Morphology

lined = line (transparent) = line + ed

Formed as the past participle/adjectival use of 'line' (to form a row or border), so the meaning 'having a border formed by a row' follows directly.

Etymology

Lined comes from line, which means a row or border, like a line of trees along a street. So a 'tree-lined' avenue is one that has trees in a row forming its edge.
