Morphology

winged = wing (transparent) = wing + ed

Regular adjective formed from the noun 'wing' with '-ed' meaning 'having' or 'provided with' wings; meaning is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Winged comes from the simple word wing, which means 'a bird's arm for flying'. So winged means 'having wings' or looking like it, which is why we use it for birds, insects, or statues with wings.
