Morphology

raised = raise (transparent) = raise + ed

Direct adjectival use of the past participle of 'raise' meaning 'lifted up', so meaning is clear from the base verb.

Etymology

Raised comes from the verb raise, from an old word meaning 'to lift' or 'get up', like the simpler word rise. So raised means 'lifted up' above the nearby area or the normal level.
