Morphology

attested = attest (transparent) = attest + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'attest'; the adjectival meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Attested comes from the Latin parts ad- 'to' and testari 'to bear witness', and it shares the same root as testify and testimony. So, when something is attested it is 'proved' or confirmed by a witness, a record, or other evidence.
