Morphology

double-spaced = double + space (transparent) = double + space + ed

Formed from 'double' + 'space' with the adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed'; the meaning 'having double line spacing' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Double-spaced comes from double meaning 'two' and space meaning 'a gap'. So it describes text with an extra blank line between each line, making the page easier to read and edit.
