Morphology

taped = tape (transparent) = tape + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'tape' meaning 'to fasten with adhesive tape', so the meaning is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

Taped comes from tape, a thin sticky 'ribbon' used to join or cover things. So if something is taped, it is 'held in place with tape'.
