Morphology

roofed = roof (transparent) = roof + ed

Standard adjective formation from the noun 'roof' with '-ed'; learners can derive 'having a roof' from 'roof' + '-ed'.

Etymology

Roofed comes from the common English noun roof, which means 'top cover', and the ending -ed, which means 'having'. So roofed simply means 'having a roof' or 'covered on top', which is why we say a 'thatched-roofed' cottage is one covered on top with thatch.
