Morphology

committed = commit (transparent) = commit + ed

Derived from 'commit' + -ed; 'committed' meaning 'dedicated or pledged to a cause' follows directly from 'commit'.

Etymology

Committed comes from the Latin parts com- 'together' and mittere 'to send', the same root you see in mission. It originally meant 'to give something into someone's care', so being committed to a cause means you have 'given yourself' to it and work for it with steady loyalty.
