Morphology

tilted = tilt (transparent) = tilt + ed

Direct past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'tilt'; meaning 'sloping' is the literal result of 'tilt' + '-ed'.

Etymology

Tilted comes from the old verb tilt, which meant 'to tip' or 'lean', like when you tip a glass to one side, so something tilted is not straight but sloping.
