Morphology

slimed = slime (transparent) = slime + ed

Formed by adding the regular past-participial/adjectival suffix '-ed' to 'slime', yielding 'covered with slime', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Slimed comes from slime, an old word for a 'sticky wet substance' like mud or mucus. So to be slimed is to be covered in that sticky, slippery goo, which explains the modern meaning.
