Root Explanation
Sheeted → It is formed from "sheet" (from Old English *sceat*, meaning a piece of material or a layer) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past participle or a state of being). The word "sheeted" means to be covered or layered with sheets or a similar material.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'sheet' as a layer of material, and when something is 'sheeted', it is covered or layered with that material.
