Morphology

rinded = rind (transparent) = rind + ed

The adjective 'rinded' is transparently derived from 'rind' by adding the suffix '-ed', indicating possession of a rind.

Etymology

Rinded comes from the simple word rind, which means the hard outer skin of food, like the 'peel' of an orange or the 'crust' of cheese. So rinded means 'having a rind', covered by that outer layer.
