Morphology

water-cooled = water + cooled (transparent) = water + cool + ed

A direct noun + past-participle compound meaning 'cooled by water', which is clear to learners familiar with 'water' and 'cool'.

Etymology

Water-cooled breaks into water + cooled, a simple idea meaning 'made cool by water'. Imagine pouring water on a hot pan or running water through a car engine to take the heat away. So a water-cooled engine or machine is one that is kept cool by water.
