Morphology

solid-hoofed = solid + hoofed (transparent) = solid + hoof + ed

A straightforward compound of 'solid' + 'hoofed' where 'hoofed' is 'hoof' + '-ed', so the structure and meaning are directly inferable.

Etymology

Solid-hoofed comes from the parts solid ('firm, not split') and hoof ('the hard foot of a horse'), so it literally names animals whose hoof is one solid piece rather than split into two.
