Morphology

smooth-skinned = smooth + skin (transparent) = smooth + skin + ed

Formed from 'smooth' + 'skin' with the adjectival/past-participial '-ed' meaning 'having skin that is smooth', which is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Smooth-skinned comes from the two simple parts smooth meaning 'even, without rough parts' and skin meaning 'the outer layer of the body', with -ed showing 'having'. So, smooth-skinned literally describes something that has skin that feels or looks even and soft.
