Morphology

well-connected = connected (transparent) = well + connect + ed

The meaning ('having good social or professional links') is directly and predictably derived from 'well' + 'connected'. [Postprocessing: moved 'well' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Well-connected comes from well ('good' or 'in a strong position') and connected ('linked to others'), so it pictures someone who is tightly 'linked' to important people and can use those links to get help.
