Morphology

continued = continue (transparent) = continue + ed

Standard adjectival use of the past-participle '-ed' on the verb 'continue' gives the meaning 'lasting without interruption', which a learner can derive from 'continue' + '-ed'.

Etymology

Continued comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and ten- 'hold', so think of it as 'holding together' or keeping going. That's why continued means lasting without stopping.
