Morphology

low-necked = low + neck (transparent) = low + neck + ed

Clearly built from the compound 'low' + 'neck' with the adjectival suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'having a low neckline' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Low-necked comes from the words low ('not high') and neck ('the part that joins the head and body'), so it describes a piece of clothing with a neckline cut low and showing more of the neck and chest.
