Morphology

hattery = hat (transparent) = hat + ery

The meaning 'shop/place/collection of hats' follows the productive English suffix '-ery' added to 'hat'.

Etymology

Hattery comes from the simple word hat plus the ending -ery, which means 'place' or 'shop' and appears in words like bakery. So a hattery is a place, shop, or collection where hats are made or sold.
