Morphology
Tabernacles = tabernacle (transparent) = tabernacle + s
Formed by the regular plural suffix '-s' on 'tabernacle'; the festival name derives directly from the plural 'tabernacles' (booths), so the relation is clear.
Etymology
The word Tabernacles comes from the Latin tabernaculum, which means 'little tent' or 'hut'. So the festival remembers the Israelites living in temporary shelters during their time in the desert, and Tabernacles is the celebration of those tents.
