Morphology

clustered = cluster (transparent) = cluster + ed

Formed from the verb 'cluster' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'grouped together' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word clustered comes from cluster, an old word for a tight 'bunch' or group, like a cluster of grapes. Think of things bunched up together — that image explains why clustered means 'growing or grouped close together'.
