Morphology

cabinetry = cabinet (transparent) = cabinet + ry

The noun is formed from 'cabinet' with the productive suffix '-ry' indicating a field, trade, or collective, so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

Cabinetry comes from cabinet, which once meant a 'small private room' where people kept clothes or treasures and later the name was used for the furniture in that room. So cabinetry is the craft of making those cabinets and other fine furniture.
