Morphology

white-blotched = white + blotch (transparent) = white + blotch + ed

The adjective is clearly built from the colour 'white' + 'blotch' with adjectival '-ed', meaning 'marked with white blotches'.

Etymology

White-blotched comes from putting together white ('the colour'), blotch ('a spot or stain'), and the ending -ed ('having'). So, white-blotched describes something that has irregular white spots or patches.
