Morphology

above-mentioned = mention (transparent) = above + mention + ed

The adjective is a straightforward combination meaning 'mentioned above', which a B1 learner can derive from 'above' + 'mention' + the participial form. [Postprocessing: moved 'above' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Above-mentioned is made from above ('higher on the page') and mention ('to name or speak about'). So, above-mentioned means something 'named earlier in the same text'.
