Morphology

attended = attend (transparent) = attend + ed

Directly formed from the verb 'attend' in its sense 'to look after/serve', so 'attended' = 'having supervision or care' is a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Attended comes from attend, which has ad- 'to' and tend 'stretch' or 'turn toward' and is the same root as tend and tension. So a place or person that is attended has someone 'with' them to watch, help, or give attention, which is why the word means being looked after.
