Morphology

booked = book (transparent) = book + ed

Standard past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'book' giving the meaning 'reserved'.

Etymology

Booked comes from the simple word book, because long ago people would write a name in a book to save a seat or a room. So when something is booked, its place or ticket is written down and kept for someone, which is why it is not available to others.
