corrected = correct (transparent) = correct + ed

The word 'corrected' is transparently derived from 'correct' by adding the past participle suffix '-ed'.

Etymology

Corrected comes from the Latin root rect meaning 'straight' or 'right', an idea you also see in rectangle. So, to correct something is to make it 'right', which is why corrected means it has been made right or improved.
