Morphology

opened = open (transparent) = open + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participle/adjectival use of 'open' + '-ed' meaning 'having been opened', which is directly inferable from the base verb.

Etymology

Opened comes from the old word open meaning 'not closed', with the ending -ed to show the state; picture a door swung wide — your mouth or eyes are 'not closed', which is why we say they are opened.
