Morphology

orientated = orientate (transparent) = orient + ate + ed

Formed by standard verb + -ed adjectival/past-participial morphology from 'orientate' (itself from 'orient'), so meaning 'positioned or aimed' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Orientated comes from the Latin oriens, meaning 'rising', and was first used for the 'east' where the sun rises. From the idea of finding a direction, the related word orientation and orientated came to mean 'set' or 'adjusted' to a place, situation, or purpose, so something orientated is positioned or prepared toward a particular goal.
