Morphology

tinted = tint (transparent) = tint + ed

Regular adjectival/participial formation from the verb 'tint', meaning 'having been given a slight color'.

Etymology

Tinted comes from an old Latin root tingere, which means 'to dye' or 'to give color' and is the same idea as the common word dye. So, something tinted has a small amount of color added to change its look, like dark windows or a voice with a slight feeling of sadness.
