Morphology

louvered = louver (transparent) = louver + ed

Formed directly from the noun 'louver' with the adjectival '-ed' meaning 'fitted with or having louvers', so the meaning follows standard English derivation.

Etymology

Louvered comes from the French word louvre, which meant a small 'opening' or 'window', so picture a window made of slats that lets air and light pass but keeps rain and direct sun out. That's why a louvered shutter or vent has slats that allow airflow and light while protecting from the weather.
