Morphology

appointed = appoint (opaque) = appoint + ed

Although historically from 'appoint' + '-ed', the sense 'furnished or equipped' is a specialized/archaic extension that is not predictable from the common sense 'assign'.

Etymology

Appointed comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and ponere 'to put', so it originally meant 'put in place'. That helps you remember a fully appointed room is one with the furniture and things already 'put in place' for use.
