Morphology

resinated = resinate (transparent) = resin + ate + ed

Formed from the verb 'resinate' (resin + -ate) with a regular adjectival/past '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived from 'resin'.

Etymology

The word resinated comes from resin, which means 'sticky tree sap' and was often used as glue and even to flavor foods and drinks like the Greek wine retsina. So, to be resinated is to be 'coated' or 'flavored' with that sticky resin, and that is why the word now means treated with resin.
