Morphology

comprehended = comprehend (transparent) = comprehend + ed

Formed by regular past-participle suffixation of the verb 'comprehend' and directly means 'understood'.

Etymology

Comprehended comes from two parts: com- meaning 'together' and prehendere meaning 'to grasp'. Think of it like 'grasping' an idea with your hands, so when something is comprehended it is fully 'grasped' or understood.
