Morphology

trellised = trellis (transparent) = trellis + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to 'trellis', meaning 'provided with or covered by a trellis'.

Etymology

Trellised comes from the old French word trelis, meaning 'lattice' or 'criss-cross frame' used to support climbing plants, like the wooden netting you see in gardens. So something trellised is covered with that grid-like structure to hold or decorate plants.
