Morphology

wired = wire (transparent) = wire + ed

Literal adjectival formation from the verb 'wire' meaning 'fastened with wire', which is directly inferable from the base plus '-ed'.

Etymology

Wired comes from wire, the metal 'thread' used to fasten or tie things, so an object that is wired is simply tied, fastened, or held together with wire.
