Morphology

noted = note (semi-transparent) = note + ed

Derived from the verb 'note' + '-ed' ('having been noted'), which makes 'well-known' predictable but slightly conventionalized.

Etymology

The word noted comes from the verb note, which originally meant 'to mark' something, like making a note in your book to remember it. So if someone is noted, people have 'taken note' of them — they are marked out as well known for that quality.
