Morphology

lobed = lobe (transparent) = lobe + ed

Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'lobe' with '-ed', meaning 'having lobes', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Lobed comes from the word lobe, which comes from an old Greek word meaning 'a round part that sticks out'. Think of an 'ear lobe' or a 'brain lobe' — a lobed leaf or organ has joined 'sections' that stick out from its edge.
