Morphology

classified = classify (transparent) = class + ify + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participle/adjectival form of 'classify' (class + -ify), so the meaning 'arranged according to classes' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Classified comes from class, which means a 'group' or 'type'. To classify is to put things into groups, so classified means 'arranged by category'.
