Morphology

steamed = steam (opaque) = steam + ed

The word 'steamed' is derived from 'steam', but the meaning shift to 'feeling angry or annoyed' is not transparent.

Etymology

Steamed can also mean 'angry' and comes from the image of a kettle full of steam building pressure. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone 'full of steam' who might 'blow off steam', which explains why being steamed means feeling very annoyed.
