Etymology
Inflected form of 'geschützt', from 'schützen' (to protect). The '-en' ending is a very common adjective inflection in German, used in many cases, especially after definite articles or in the plural.
Memory Tips
The '-en' ending is the 'workhorse' of German adjective endings. When in doubt, especially after 'the' (der/die/das) or for any plural noun, '-en' is a good guess.
