Morphology

signed = sign (transparent) = sign + ed

The adjective is the regular past participle of 'sign' indicating something bears a signature; the meaning is directly derived by standard participial morphology.

Etymology

Signed comes from the Latin root sign- (from signare) meaning 'mark' or 'to mark'. The same root is in signature and signal, so a document that is 'signed' is literally 'marked' by someone's name to show agreement.
