Morphology

tempered = temper (semi-transparent) = temper + ed

Formally 'temper' + -ed is clear, but the specialized metallurgical sense may not be obvious to learners who only know 'temper' in the general sense.

Etymology

Tempered comes from the old Latin word temperare, which also meant 'to set the right heat' and is the same root as temperature. That's why tempered metal or glass is heated and cooled in a controlled way to become stronger and more flexible.
