Morphology

normed = norm (transparent) = norm + ed

Regular past-tense/past-participle formation from the verb 'norm', directly indicating that something was made a norm.

Etymology

Normed (verb) comes from norma meaning a 'rule' or 'standard', and the action 'to norm' grew to mean 'to make something follow a rule'. So when a process or test is normed, it has been made to fit a common 'standard' so everyone uses the same rules.
