Morphology

The sense is a straightforward adjectival/past-participial formation from 'base' indicating 'situated on or founded upon'.

Etymology

Based comes from base, which means a 'foundation' or 'bottom', as in the base of a statue or a basement under a house. So if something is 'based' on facts or built on a base, it means it sits on and depends on that foundation.
