Morphology

posed = pose (transparent) = pose + ed

Formed from the verb 'pose' with the regular past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'positioned or arranged' is directly derived.

Etymology

Posed comes from the French word poser, which means 'to place' or 'put'. So to be posed is to be carefully 'positioned' or arranged for a photo or painting.
