Morphology

sprinklered = sprinkler (transparent) = sprinkle + er + ed

Formed from the recognizable base 'sprinkler' plus the regular adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed' meaning 'having or equipped with'.

Etymology

Sprinklered comes from sprinkler, the device that sprinkles water, and from sprinkle meaning 'to scatter small drops'. So a building that is sprinklered has that water system to protect it from fires.
