Morphology

advertised = advertise (transparent) = advertise + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'advertise'; the meaning 'made publicly known or promoted' is directly derived.

Etymology

Advertised comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and vertere 'to turn', so it originally meant 'to turn people's attention to something'. You can see the same 'turn' root in the word reverse. That's why something advertised is put 'in the public eye' or promoted.
