Morphology

pupilled = pupil (transparent) = pupil + ed

Formed by straightforward suffixation 'pupil' + '-ed' meaning 'having pupils (students)', so a learner who knows 'pupil' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Pupilled comes from the simple word pupil, which goes back to the old Latin pupillus meaning 'little one' or 'child', because a pupil was someone under another person's care. So a pupilled classroom or teacher is one that has pupils (students) under its supervision.
