Morphology

blood-filled = blood + filled (transparent) = blood + fill + ed

Structure is a compound of 'blood' + 'filled' (past-participle adjective), and the meaning 'filled with blood' is directly deducible.

Etymology

Blood-filled is simply made from blood and filled, meaning 'full of blood'. So imagine a small bubble or sac that is full of red liquid — that image helps explain why we call blisters, cavities, or sacs that contain blood 'blood-filled'.
