Both uses come from the verb mount, and the verb holds two everyday actions that are easy to see at once: something goes up, and something gets put up onto something else. Follow the first action and you watch a pile grow — bills, pressure, criticism, one more added and then one more — and that is the adjective. Follow the second and you end up looking at whatever the thing was put onto: the rubber block under an engine, the plate a camera screws into — and that is the noun. One word, two directions out of the same small movement upward.
From the word’s history
Both entries are mount plus the ending -ing, so the difference is not in the parts but in which action of mount the ending caught.
兩個用法都是 mount 加上 -ing。差別不在組成,而在 -ing 抓住的是 mount 的哪一個動作:是「往上加」,還是「架上去」。
