slatted = slat (transparent) = slat + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' to 'slat', meaning 'having or made with slats', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Slatted comes from the simple word slat, meaning a 'thin strip' of wood or metal, with the -ed ending that turns it into an adjective. Think of light shining through the slats of a blind or fence; slatted describes something made from thin, flat strips placed side by side with small gaps so light or air can pass through.
