Morphology
reticulated = reticulate (transparent) = reticulate + ed
Regular adjectival formation from 'reticulate' + '-ed'; the meaning 'having a netlike pattern' is directly derived from the base.
Etymology
The word reticulated comes from the Latin reticulum ('little net') and rete ('net'). So a reticulated surface or pattern has a web or 'network' of lines, like a fishing net across the skin or leaves.
