Morphology

ringed = ring (transparent) = ring + ed

Formed by adding -ed to 'ring' to indicate 'having the form or appearance of a ring' (ring-shaped).

Etymology

Ringed comes from ring ('a circle or band') plus -ed ('shaped like' or 'surrounded by'), so picture a wall, island, or planet 'wearing' a ring around it; that's why ringed means 'in the shape of a ring' or 'surrounded by a ring'.
