Morphology

pictured = picture (transparent) = picture + ed

Formed from the verb 'picture' with the regular adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'imagined' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Pictured comes from picture, a word from an old idea meaning 'to paint'. So to have pictured something is like 'painting' an image in your mind — you imagine it clearly.
