Morphology

matured = mature (transparent) = mature + ed

Formed regularly by adding the past-participle suffix '-ed' to the verb 'mature'; the adjective meaning is directly derived from 'mature'.

Etymology

The word matured comes from the Latin maturus meaning 'ripe' and the verb maturare meaning 'to ripen'. Think of a plan like a piece of fruit that slowly 'ripens' — when it is fully thought out and ready, it is called matured.
