Morphology

recovered = recover (transparent) = recover + ed

Standard adjectival/past-participle formation from 'recover' meaning 'to regain or find', so the sense is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Recovered comes from the Latin recuperare, which means 'get back', with re- meaning 'again'. That's why a 'recovered' object is something that has been found or 'got back' after being lost.
