Morphology

aligned = align (transparent) = align + ed

The adjectival sense 'placed in agreement or cooperation' is a common, productive extension of 'align' and follows the regular -ed formation.

Etymology

Aligned also kept the 'line' idea when used for people or groups: to be aligned with someone is like 'lining up' with them. That's why if you are aligned with a group you agree with its ideas or act together with it.
