Morphology

right-eyed = right + eyed (transparent) = right + eye + ed

Formed from 'right' + 'eyed' (eye + -ed) meaning literally 'having the right eye', which a B1 learner can derive from the components.

Etymology

Right-eyed is made from right ('not left') and eyed (from 'eye'), like one-eyed or blue-eyed, so it describes a person or animal that has only the right eye or whose eyes sit on the right side.
