Morphology

relaxed = relax (transparent) = relax + ed

Clear adjectival use of the past participle/past form of the verb 'relax' to indicate a state resulting from relaxing.

Etymology

The word relaxed comes from the Latin parts re- ('again') and laxare (from lax 'loose'), so it originally meant 'made loose again'. So to be relaxed is to be 'loosened' from tension or worry, like muscles or thoughts that are no longer tight.
