Morphology

mounted = mount (transparent) = mount + ed

The adjective is the past-participle/adjectival result of the verb 'mount' and directly means 'fixed/attached to a support', which a B1 learner can derive from 'mount' + '-ed'.

Etymology

Mounted comes from the verb mount, which first meant 'to climb up' or 'get on' and so gives the idea of putting something 'on top' or on a support. So a mounted projector or photograph is fixed in place or put on a backing.
