Morphology

netted = net (transparent) = net + ed

Formed regularly from 'net' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', meaning 'made with or covered by a net', which is readily deduced by learners.

Etymology

The word netted comes from the simple word net, which is a web of thread used 'to catch' animals or hold small things. So, something netted has an open, mesh shape like a net or is caught or held by one.
