Morphology

sheeted = sheet (transparent) = sheet + ed

Formed by the regular adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' from 'sheet', meaning 'covered with sheets', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word sheeted comes from the common word sheet, meaning a 'large piece of cloth' or a flat 'layer', plus the ending -ed. So something sheeted is literally 'covered with a sheet' or made into a layer, which is why a statue can be sheeted in cloth or a field can be sheeted with ice.
