Root Explanation
Roofed → It is formed from "roof" (from Old English *hrof*, meaning the top covering of a building) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating a completed action or state). The word "roofed" means having a roof or being covered by a roof.
Memory Tip
Think of a building that is 'covered' ('roof') — the '-ed' shows that it has been completed, so 'roofed' means it has a roof.
