Morphology

wimpled = wimple (transparent) = wimple + ed

Formed by adding the regular adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed' to 'wimple', so 'having or covered with a wimple' or 'having folds like a wimple' follows directly.

Etymology

Wimpled comes from the old word wimple, which meant 'a head cloth' that fell in soft folds. So when curtains or cloth are called wimpled, they have gentle 'folds' or pleats like that head covering.
