Morphology

arranged = arrange (transparent) = arrange + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'arrange'; meaning is directly derived (organized or planned).

Etymology

Arranged comes from an old idea of putting things in a 'row' or 'order', the same root as the familiar word range, which suggests a neat line of things. So to have something arranged is to have it put in order or set up ahead of time, which is why arranged means 'organized or planned'.
