Morphology

rectified = rectify (transparent) = rectify + ed

A regular past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'rectify' meaning 'correct', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Rectified comes from the Latin root rect meaning 'straight' or 'right', the same root you see in correct. So to be rectified is to be 'made right' or 'set straight' after something was wrong.
