Morphology

included = include (transparent) = include + ed

The adjective derives directly from the past participle of the verb 'include' and retains the verb's basic meaning of being contained or part of something.

Etymology

The word included comes from Latin parts in- ('in') and claudere ('to close'), so it originally meant to 'shut in'. Think of putting an item inside a box or envelope; that's why included means 'placed with' or 'sent with' something else.
