Morphology

widemouthed = wide + mouth (transparent) = wide + mouth + ed

Formed from the components 'wide' + 'mouth' with the adjectival suffix '-ed' meaning 'having a wide mouth', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Widemouthed is simply wide ('broad') plus mouth ('opening'), so it means something with a large opening, like a jar you can easily reach into.
