Morphology

rockered = rocker (transparent) = rocker + ed

Built from the noun 'rocker' + '-ed' meaning 'fitted with' or 'having rockers', a clear derivation learners can follow.

Etymology

Rockered comes from rock, which means 'to move back and forth', and from rocker, the curved runner under a chair or cradle. So a rockered chair or cradle has those curved parts so it can rock gently, like a rocking chair that soothes a baby.
