Morphology

concerned = concern (transparent) = concern + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'concern'; the adjective meaning 'involved/affected' follows directly.

Etymology

Concerned comes from the old Latin verb concernare, with con- 'together' and a root that means 'to mix' or 'bring together', like the word concert. So if someone is concerned in something, they are 'brought together with' it — in other words, connected or involved.
