Morphology

credentialed = credential (transparent) = credential + ed

The meaning 'having credentials' is directly derived by adding the adjectival/past-participial suffix -ed to 'credential', a productive and interpretable formation for learners.

Etymology

Credentialed comes from the Latin root credere, which means 'to believe' and is the same root in English words like credit and credible. So to be credentialed is to have papers or proof that make people 'believe' you are trusted to do the job.
