Morphology

tapestried = tapestry (transparent) = tapestry + ed

Formed by adding the regular adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed' to 'tapestry', yielding 'covered with tapestry', which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Tapestried comes from the word tapestry, a large woven cloth used like a picture or rug on a wall, so a tapestried room is 'hung with woven pictures' that decorate and cover the walls.
