Morphology

increased = increase (transparent) = increase + ed

Formed by adding the regular past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed' to the verb 'increase', so the meaning 'made greater' is directly derived.

Etymology

Increased comes from the Latin verb crescere, which means 'to grow', and the start in- which gives the sense 'become more'. You can see the same root in crescent, a moon that grows, and crescendo, music that grows louder, so increased means 'made bigger' or 'grew'.
