Etymology
Skinned comes from the simple word skin, which means the 'outer covering' of a person or animal, plus the ending -ed that makes a word that describes 'having' that kind of skin. So fair-skinned means 'having fair skin' and thick-skinned means 'having thick skin', which is why we use skinned to say what kind of skin someone or something has.
