Morphology

starred = star (transparent) = star + ed

Standard adjectival/past-participle formation from the verb 'star' meaning 'to mark with a star', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Starred comes from the simple idea of a star, a small star-shaped sign like * that marks something 'important' or for 'special notice'. So when a question or note is starred it is marked to stand out and be noticed.
