Morphology

redeemed = redeem (transparent) = redeem + ed

The participial adjective 'redeemed' is a direct and regular formation from the verb 'redeem' with -ed, and its religious meaning ('saved') is the primary sense of the verb, so the derivation is clear to learners.

Etymology

Redeemed comes from the old idea of redeem, which means 'to buy back'. In religious use, it shows the idea of being 'bought back' from sin, so to be redeemed is to be 'saved' or set free.
