rotated = rotate (transparent) = rotate + ed

The adjective is the past-participial form of the verb 'rotate' with the regular suffix '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived from 'rotate'.

Etymology

The word rotated comes from the Latin word rota, meaning 'wheel', and shares the same root as rotation. Think of a wheel turning around its center: something rotated is turned around a central point or axis.
