Morphology

amended = amend (transparent) = amend + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participle/adjectival form of the verb 'amend' formed with '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Amended comes from the Latin word emendare, which meant 'to correct'. It is related to the English word mend, which means 'to fix', so when something is amended it has been changed to be more correct or suitable.
