Morphology

adjusted = adjust (transparent) = adjust + ed

Derived directly from the verb 'adjust' with the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', producing the straightforward meaning 'changed or altered'.

Etymology

Adjusted comes from the parts ad- 'to' and just 'right', so it originally meant 'to make right'. So when clothes are adjusted, they are changed to fit properly and be 'right' for the person.
