Morphology

visored = visor (transparent) = visor + ed

Formed by the noun 'visor' plus the adjectival/past-participial suffix '-ed', meaning 'equipped with a visor', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Visored comes from visor, which comes from an old root meaning 'to see' and is related to the familiar word vision. So a visored hat or helmet has a front piece that shades or protects your eyes and face.
