Morphology

valued = value (transparent) = value + ed

Formed by the verb 'value' with the regular past-participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', yielding 'regarded as having worth', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word valued comes from the word value, which comes from the old Latin valere meaning 'to be worth'. So when someone or something is valued, people see it as having worth or being important.
