Morphology

meshed = mesh (transparent) = mesh + ed

The meaning follows directly from 'mesh' in the sense of interlocking gears, with '-ed' forming a participial adjective.

Etymology

Meshed comes from the old word mesh, meaning 'net'. When gears are meshed their teeth 'fit together' like the loops of a net, so they turn together and make the machine move.
