Morphology

reported = report (transparent) = report + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'report'; the adjectival meaning is directly derived from 'report'.

Etymology

The word reported comes from report, which originally meant 'to bring back' news, like a messenger carrying information to someone else. That's why reported means something was 'told' or 'made known' by another person or in an official record rather than seen directly.
