Morphology

appreciated = appreciate (transparent) = appreciate + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'appreciate', giving the predictable meaning 'recognized' or 'valued'.

Etymology

Appreciated comes from the Latin word pretium, which meant 'price', and you can see the same idea in the English word price. It originally meant 'to give a thing a value', so to appreciate something is to know its worth or understand it fully, which is why appreciated can mean 'fully understood'.
