Etymology: The verb "enumerate" was borrowed from Latin "ēnumerātus," the past participle of "ēnumerāre," meaning to count out or reckon up. Its roots are plain and literal: "ex" (out) combined with "numerus" (number), so to enumerate was originally to count something out one item at a time. English took the word in the early 17th century, roughly between 1600 and 1650, and it carried that sense of careful, item-by-item counting into its use for listing things. "Enumerated" is simply the simple past and past participle of "enumerate," so it carries the same counting sense as its base verb. In the sense relevant here, "listed in order," the form describes items that have already been named one after another in sequence.
