Morphology

waisted = waist (transparent) = waist + ed

A standard adjectival formation meaning 'having or characterized by a waist', directly predictable from 'waist' + '-ed'.

Etymology

Waisted comes from the simple word waist, which means the 'middle' of the body, plus the ending -ed that says 'having'. So a waisted dress or object is one that is narrower or fitted at the middle, which is why we use it for clothes or shapes that show the waist.
