Morphology

triangled = triangle (transparent) = triangle + ed

Formed directly from the noun 'triangle' with the adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed', meaning 'having the shape of or marked with triangles', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word triangled comes from the parts tri- meaning 'three' and angle meaning 'corner', the same tri- you see in tricycle and triangle. So a triangled object has three corners or is decorated with triangle shapes, which is why it means 'having the shape of a triangle or decorated with triangles'.
