Morphology

wilted = wilt (semi-transparent) = wilt + ed

This adjectival use is a figurative extension from the plant sense to humans (lacking energy), so it is inferable but shifted.

Etymology

Wilted is used for people who have lost energy; imagine someone 'wilting' in the heat like a plant that folds its leaves. That's why wilted means 'lacking energy, weak, or exhausted'.
