Morphology

subscribed = subscribe (transparent) = sub + scribe + ed

Standard past-participle formation from the verb 'subscribe' meaning 'to sign', so form and meaning are directly derived.

Etymology

Subscribed comes from the Latin parts sub- 'under' and scribere 'to write', the same root you see in script. It once meant 'to write under', so a subscribed document has a signature written at the end to show approval or make it valid.
