Morphology

removed = remove (opaque) = re + move + ed

This adjective is a participial form of 'remove', and the sense 'placed at a distance' is inferable but somewhat formal and less basic than the core verbal meaning.

Etymology

The word removed comes from old parts re- 'back' and move 'to move'. So something removed is like it has been 'moved away' and feels distant or separate from the present.
