Morphology

sleeved = sleeve (transparent) = sleeve + ed

Direct adjectival formation from the noun 'sleeve' with the productive suffix '-ed' meaning 'having', so the meaning is clear to learners.

Etymology

Sleeved comes from the common word sleeve, which meant the tube-like 'cover' for your arm, and the ending -ed simply means 'having'. So a sleeved shirt is one that 'has' sleeves, for example a 'long-sleeved' sweater has long arm tubes.
