Morphology

ordered = order (transparent) = order + ed

Formed regularly from the verb 'order' with the past-participle/adjectival '-ed', so the meaning 'arranged' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word ordered comes from the Latin word ordo, which meant 'row' or 'rank'. It's the same root as English order, so something ordered is put into neat rows or a clear system.
