Morphology

normed = norm (transparent) = norm + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'norm', indicating adjustment to a standard.

Etymology

Normed comes from the Latin word norma, which meant a 'carpenter's square' and then a 'rule' or 'pattern', and it is the same root as normal. So when test scores are normed, they are measured or changed to fit the same 'rule' so people can compare them fairly.
