Morphology

terminated = terminate (transparent) = terminate + ed

Standard adjectival/past-participle formation from the verb 'terminate'; meaning 'brought to an end' is directly derived from the base verb.

Etymology

Terminated comes from the Latin word terminus, which means 'end' or 'boundary', and you can see the same root in term and terminal, like a bus or airport end point. So, when something is terminated it is 'brought to an end' or stopped.
