Morphology

thatched = thatch (transparent) = thatch + ed

Formed by the regular past-participle/adjectival '-ed' from the verb 'thatch', so the meaning 'covered with thatch' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Thatched comes from the old word thatch, meaning 'covering' or 'roof' often made of straw or reeds, so imagine a house wearing a 'straw hat'. That's why a thatched cottage is one 'covered' with bundles of straw or reeds.
