Morphology

checksummed = checksum (transparent) = check + sum + ed

The verb is formed by adding -ed to the technical noun 'checksum'; the composition 'check'+'sum' is semantically clear in context of verifying data.

Etymology

Checksummed comes from the parts check ('to test') and sum ('total'). A checksum is a small total made from a file, like adding numbers on a receipt to see if they match, so to checksum something is to make that total to check it has not been changed.
