Morphology

rippled = ripple (transparent) = ripple + ed

The adjective is a standard past-participle/participial formation from the verb 'ripple' indicating having small waves, which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Rippled comes from the simple word ripple, which means a 'small wave'. Think of the tiny waves you see on water or the marks they make in sand, and you will remember that something rippled has many little waves or gentle curves on its surface.
