Origin of the word mounted

"Mounted" comes from the Old French word "monté," meaning "raised" or "climbed." This word itself derives from the Latin "montare," meaning "to climb." The original meaning of "mounted" referred to something being placed on top of something else, like a horse or a stand. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass the act of being placed on a mount, like a horse, and the resulting state of being attached to something else. This is reflected in its use in phrases like "mounted police" or "mounted artwork."
