Morphology

addressed = address (transparent) = address + ed

Standard past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'address' meaning 'marked with the recipient', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Addressed comes from address, which joined ad- ('to') and dress ('set' or 'arrange') and originally meant 'to direct to' someone. That's why an addressed letter is one that has been 'set' for a particular person, with their name and place on it.
