Morphology

collected = collect (transparent) = collect + ed

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

Etymology

Collected comes from the Latin parts com- ('together') and legere ('to pick or gather'). Think of a collection of books 'picked together' in one place. So collected means items brought into one group.
