Root Explanation

Paneled → It is formed from "panel" (from Old French *panel*, meaning a flat piece or section) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating past action or condition). The word "paneled" refers to something that has been fitted with panels or flat sections, typically in a decorative or structural context.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'panel' as a flat piece that has been added to something, and the '-ed' shows that it has been done. So, 'paneled' means something that has been fitted with flat sections.
