Root Explanation
Jacketed → It is formed from "jacket" (from Old French *jaquette*, meaning a small coat) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating a past action or condition). The word "jacketed" means to be covered or enclosed in a jacket.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'jacket' as a small coat that covers something, and the '-ed' shows that it has been covered.
