Morphology

edited = edit (transparent) = edit + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participial/adjunct form of the verb 'edit' and directly means 'having been edited', which is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Edited comes from the verb edit, which comes from an old Latin word meaning 'to bring out' or 'publish'. Think of edition or editor — they prepare and improve a text, so something edited has been checked and changed to be better.
