Etymology: The word derives from the verb zamontować, with the prefix za- indicating completion and montować meaning to mount. The root mont- is related to mounting or assembly, with the noun montaż signifying installation or mounting.

Usage: In technical and everyday language, zamontowani or zamontowane is used to describe hardware after installation. It appears in phrases like zamontowane urządzenie (the installed device), zamontowany system (the installed system), or in passive constructions with zostało/ zostały: Urządzenie zostało zamontowane.
