Morphology

jacketed = jacket (transparent) = jacket + ed

The word 'jacketed' is transparently formed by adding the suffix '-ed' to 'jacket', indicating something that has been covered or enclosed with a jacket.

Etymology

Jacketed comes from jacket, which once meant a small 'coat' and was named after the familiar name Jack, so you can picture something 'wearing a coat'. That's why something jacketed is 'covered' by a protective or decorative outer layer.
