Morphology

lowered = lower (transparent) = lower + ed

The adjective is directly formed from the verb 'lower' with the regular past-participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', so its meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Lowered comes from the simple word low, which means 'not high', and the ending -ed shows that something has been made that way or that the action happened. So when something is lowered it is moved down or placed below what is normal, or it can show a quiet, humble feeling like a 'lowered' head.
