Morphology

cleared = clear (transparent) = clear + ed

Formed by the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed' on the verb 'clear', so the meaning is directly derived from 'clear'.

Etymology

Cleared comes from the word clear, which also means 'free from things in the way', like clearing a path or a table. So a cleared field or path is one that people have made empty of trees, debris, or other obstacles.
