salaried = salary (transparent) = salary + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival '-ed' to 'salary' to indicate being paid by a salary, a straightforward derivation.

Etymology

Salaried comes from salary, which comes from the old Latin salarium, originally an allowance for 'salt' (sal). In ancient times salt was very valuable and soldiers were paid for it, so salaried now means someone who gets a 'regular, fixed pay'.
