Morphology

dissolved = dissolve (transparent) = dissolve + ed

This adjective is the regular past-participle form of 'dissolve' and directly means 'having been dissolved'.

Etymology

Dissolved comes from the Latin parts dis- 'apart' and solvere 'to loosen', the same root as solve and solution. So when something is dissolved it 'loosens apart' and mixes into the liquid, becoming part of it.
