Morphology

milled = mill (transparent) = mill + ed

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ed' to the verb 'mill' to create an adjectival/past-participial form meaning 'worked or shaped by milling'.

Etymology

The word milled also comes from mill, which was a machine for 'cutting' or shaping materials. That is why a milled metal or wood part is one that has been machine-cut or finished to exact shapes.
