Morphology

mailed = mail (transparent) = mail + ed

Formed regularly from the noun 'mail' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ed' to mean 'covered with mail', though it is homographic with the past tense 'mailed' (sent by post).

Etymology

Mailed comes from an old word mail meaning 'metal mesh' used to make a shirt of rings for protection, and you can see the same idea in chainmail. So a mailed warrior is 'wearing protective metal armor'.
