Morphology

souled = soul (semi-transparent) = soul + ed

Built from 'soul' + '-ed' meaning 'having or full of soul', but the specialized artistic sense ('souled' meaning expressive or deeply felt) is a metaphorical extension that may not be fully predictable.

Etymology

Souled comes from the word soul, which means 'inner feeling' or spirit and is the same idea behind the word soulful. So to be souled is to show deep emotion or spirit, especially in art or performance.
