Morphology

posted = post (transparent) = post + ed

The adjective is directly derived from the verb 'post' by the regular past-participle/adjectival '-ed' formation meaning 'displayed; put up'.

Etymology

The word posted comes from the idea of putting a notice on a post, which meant 'a pole' or 'stake' used for public signs. So a posted notice is one that has been put up where people can see it.
