Morphology

mullioned = mullion (transparent) = mullion + ed

Formed by the noun 'mullion' plus the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed', giving the straightforward meaning 'having mullions'.

Etymology

The word mullioned comes from an old French word mullion meaning 'small post' or 'bar' used in windows. So a mullioned window is one with those little vertical posts that divide the glass, which explains the word's modern meaning.
