Morphology

paned = pane (transparent) = pane + ed

A regular adjectival/past-participial formation from the noun 'pane' meaning 'having panes of glass', which learners can derive from 'pane' + '-ed'.

Etymology

Paned comes from pane, a small 'section' of glass used in windows and doors. So a 'paned' window or door is simply one that has those glass sections, like the many little windowpanes that let light into a room.
