Morphology

shaped = shape (transparent) = shape + ed

Formed by the regular addition of '-ed' to 'shape' to indicate having a particular form; meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Shaped comes from the same old English word shape, meaning 'form'. A helpful image is a cookie cutter making a star: when something is 'star-shaped' it simply has that particular form.
