Morphology

scrubbed = scrub (transparent) = scrub + scrub + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participial/adjectival form of the verb 'scrub' (scrub + -ed), so its meaning 'made clean by scrubbing' is directly derived.

Etymology

Scrubbed comes from the verb scrub, which means 'to rub hard' with a brush or cloth. So when something is scrubbed it has been rubbed until clean, and that is why the word means very clean after hard washing.
