Morphology

liquefied = liquefy (transparent) = liquefy + ed

The final step is a standard adjectival/past-participial formation from the verb 'liquefy' by adding '-ed', which directly yields 'changed into a liquid'.

Etymology

Liquefied comes from liquid meaning 'fluid' or 'water-like' and the ending -fied meaning 'made'. So liquefied means 'made liquid', which fits when a gas or solid is changed into a liquid by heating or applying pressure.
