Morphology

induced = induce (transparent) = induce + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'induce', so the meaning 'caused' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Induced comes from the Latin parts in- meaning 'into' and ducere meaning 'to lead', so it originally meant 'led into'. You can see the same duc idea in common words like conduct and produce, and that is why induced now means something was 'caused' or 'brought about' by something else.
