Morphology

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

The adjective is built from 'fill' + '-ed' and the noun 'egg' combines with it to mean 'containing eggs', which is directly derivable for learners.

Etymology

The word egg-filled starts from the simple parts egg and fill, where egg is the familiar food and fill means 'make full'. So egg-filled literally means 'full of eggs', like a nest or an omelette that contains many eggs.
