Morphology

yellow-striped = yellow + striped (transparent) = yellow + stripe + ed

Formed by combining 'yellow' and 'striped' (itself stripe + -ed); the meaning 'having yellow stripes' is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Yellow-striped comes from joining yellow (the bright colour) and stripe (a long thin 'strip' or band), so it is easy to imagine a line or pattern made of yellow bands; a helpful way to remember it is to picture a yellow-striped road line, snake, or butterfly that is 'having yellow stripes'.
