Morphology

silver-scaled = silver + scaled (transparent) = silver + scale + ed

Clear compound of 'silver' (colour) + 'scaled' (having scales); the meaning is directly derived from the components.

Etymology

Silver-scaled combines silver ('shiny metal') and scale ('small plate on a fish or snake'). So, a silver-scaled creature is one whose body is covered in silver-colored scales that shine like metal.
