Morphology

orbed = orb (transparent) = orb + ed

Past/past-participle -ed added to the verb 'orb' (itself a conversion of the noun 'orb'), so the meaning 'made into a sphere' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Orbed comes from the root orb meaning 'circle' or 'round', just like the word orb for a round object. A helpful way to remember it is to think of 'making something into a ball', so to orbed something is to shape it into a sphere.
