Morphology

combined = combine (transparent) = combine + ed

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

Etymology

Combined comes from the prefix com- meaning 'together' and a root like bind meaning 'to tie', so it is like 'tied together'. That's why when things are combined they are joined into one.
