Morphology

referenced = reference (transparent) = reference + ed

The adjective is the past-participle form meaning 'having references' formed regularly from the noun/verb 'reference' plus -ed.

Etymology

The word referenced comes from the verb refer, which originally meant 'to carry back' or 'to point back' to something. A reference is something that 'points back' to its source, so a referenced article shows the books or papers readers can check.
