Morphology

fulfilled = fulfill (transparent) = fulfill + ed

The adjective is the regular past-participle/adjectival form of the verb 'fulfill', so its meaning is directly derived from that verb.

Etymology

The word fulfilled comes from the old English parts full and fill, which mean 'full' and 'to make full'. It gives the image of finishing a task and 'filling' it completely, so something fulfilled is brought to completion.
