Morphology

roiled = roil (transparent) = roil + ed

The adjective is directly formed from the verb 'roil' with -ed; knowing 'roil' (to disturb/agitates) makes 'roiled' = angry or agitated understandable.

Etymology

Roiled comes from the verb roil, which means 'to stir up' and was first used about water or mud being mixed into rough waves. So when someone is roiled, their feelings are stirred and upset, like water tossed by a storm.
