Morphology

ringed = ring (transparent) = ring + ed

The adjective is a regular adjectival -ed form meaning 'having rings' derived directly from the noun 'ring'.

Etymology

Ringed comes from ring ('a round band' like a jewelry ring) plus -ed ('having'), so imagine an animal 'wearing' bands of color around its body; that's why ringed means 'having colored or marked rings'.
