Morphology

conserved = conserve (transparent) = conserve + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participial adjective formed from the verb 'conserve', so its meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

The word conserved comes from Latin parts con- meaning 'together' and servare meaning 'to keep' or 'to guard', and it shares the same root as the common word preserve. So, to be conserved is to be 'kept safe' or protected from harm.
