Morphology

red-streaked = red-streak (transparent) = red + streak + ed

The word is transparently formed by adding the suffix '-ed' to 'red-streak', indicating the presence of red streaks.

Etymology

The word red-streaked combines red (the color) and streak (a 'line' or 'stripe'), creating a simple picture of thin red marks across something. So, red-streaked means 'having red stripes or lines'.
