Morphology

trimmed = trim (transparent) = trim + ed

Formed by regular past-participle/adjectival -ed on the verb 'trim', so the meaning is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

Trimmed comes from the old verb trim, which meant 'make ready' and 'neat' and later came to mean 'cut away extra parts'. So, when hair or grass is trimmed, it has been cut to look tidy.
