marked = mark (semi-transparent) = mark + ed

Built from 'mark' + -ed but the idiomatic meaning 'targeted or singled out (for harm or attention)' is a specialized extension not fully predictable from the base alone.

Etymology

Marked comes from the old word mark, meaning a 'sign' that points someone out. So if a person is marked, people have put a sign on them and they are singled out or may be a target.
