Morphology

saved = save (transparent) = save + ed

Formed from the verb 'save' + -ed; the spiritual sense 'delivered from sin' is a direct extension of 'save'.

Etymology

Saved comes from the old Latin root salv- meaning 'safe', the same root in salvation. That's why being saved in religion means being 'rescued' from sin and given 'safety' for your soul.
