doored positive

Morphology

doored = door (transparent) = door + ed

A regular adjectival use of -ed meaning 'having' (e.g., 'four-doored'); learners can readily derive 'fitted with doors' from 'door' + -ed.

Etymology

Doored comes from the simple word door plus the ending -ed, which here means 'having' or 'with' a door. So a doored cabinet or hallway is one 'with' a door, giving more privacy or keeping things hidden.
