Morphology

seated = seat (transparent) = seat + ed

Formed regularly from the verb 'seat' with the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', so the meaning 'in a sitting position' follows directly.

Etymology

Seated comes from the simple English word seat and the basic verb sit, both meaning 'to sit down' or 'a place to sit', so seated means 'in a sitting position'.
