Morphology

confirmed = confirm (transparent) = confirm + ed

The meaning is directly derived from 'confirm' + 'ed', indicating something that has been established as true or definite.

Etymology

Confirmed comes from the same old Latin root meaning 'to make firm'. That's why a confirmed reservation is one that is made firm and fixed, and why someone who is confirmed in church is seen as having their faith made firm.
