Morphology
pixelated = pixelate (transparent) = pixel + ate + ed
The intentional stylistic meaning is produced by the same morphological steps from 'pixel' to 'pixelate' to 'pixelated', so the formation is transparent.
Etymology
Pixelated is often used when an image is made to look like large square parts to hide detail or for a retro, blocky style. The word comes from pixel, short for picture element meaning 'a tiny square of an image', so making something pixelated turns small parts into visible squares and hides fine details.
