Morphology

scabbarded = scabbard (transparent) = scabbard + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participle/adjectival form from 'scabbard' + '-ed', meaning 'placed in or having a scabbard', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Scabbarded comes from scabbard, the word for a sword's 'sheath' or cover, like the case that holds a knife. So scabbarded means 'kept in a scabbard' or 'placed inside a scabbard'.
