Morphology

renewed = renew (transparent) = re + new + ed

The adjective is a regular participial form meaning 'having been renewed', which is directly recoverable from the verb.

Etymology

Renewed comes from the parts re- 'again' and new 'fresh', so it literally means 'made fresh again'. Think of taking a short rest or fixing something so it feels new and strong again.
