Morphology

requested = request (transparent) = request + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'request'; the meaning 'asked for' is directly derived and obvious to learners.

Etymology

Requested comes from re- ('again') and quest from a Latin word meaning 'seek' or 'ask', the same root you see in question and quest. So requested simply means 'asked for'.
