Morphology

threaded = thread (transparent) = thread + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' to 'thread', yielding 'having threads' which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Threaded comes from thread, which means a thin 'string' used for sewing. The spiral lines on a screw or bolt look like a wrapped string, so something threaded has those lines and can be turned in or 'screwed' into place.
