Morphology

acorn-shaped = acorn + shape (transparent) = acorn + shape + ed

The meaning is a straightforward combination of 'acorn' and 'shaped', meaning 'having the shape of an acorn'.

Etymology

The word acorn-shaped comes from the nut called an acorn, the seed of an oak tree. Because an acorn is 'rounded at the bottom and tapering to a point at the top', something acorn-shaped has that same shape.
