Morphology

bootied = bootie (transparent) = bootie + ed

The adjective is directly formed from the noun 'bootie' with a standard adjectival/past participle '-ed' meaning 'wearing or provided with booties', so the meaning is clear from the base.

Etymology

Bootied comes from boot, a shoe or foot covering, plus the small, friendly -ie that makes bootie a 'small boot'. So, if someone is bootied, they are 'wearing little boots' or booties to keep their feet warm.
