Morphology

punctured = puncture (transparent) = puncture + ed

Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'puncture' with the standard participial/adjectival suffix '-ed'.

Etymology

Punctured comes from an old Latin verb pungere meaning 'to prick' or 'to point', and it is the same idea behind the everyday word point; so if something is punctured it has been pricked or pierced by a sharp tip, leaving a small hole.
