Morphology

ised = realise (transparent) = realise + ise + d

The form is the regular past/past-participle formation from a verb in -ise (e.g., realise -> realised), so knowing the verb yields the past form.

Etymology

Ised is the common British past ending for verbs that end in -ise, so realise becomes realised when the action happened before. It simply marks the 'past' like adding the little word 'did', so you know the action already happened.
