Morphology

chilblained = chilblain (transparent) = chilblain + ed

Formed by the regular adjectival/past-participial use of -ed on the noun 'chilblain' to mean 'affected by chilblains'.

Etymology

Chilblained comes from chill ('cold') and blain ('sore' or 'swelling'). So, it literally means a 'cold sore' on the skin, which is why we use it for skin with painful, itchy swellings caused by cold.
