Morphology

committed = commit (transparent) = commit + ed

The adjective 'committed' is transparently derived from the verb 'commit' with the addition of the past participle suffix '-ed'.

Etymology

Committed comes from the Latin parts com- 'together' and mittere 'to send', the same root you see in mission. It once meant 'to give into someone's care' or 'join together', so a committed partner is someone who has 'given themselves' to one person and stays loyal.
