roofed

Roofed is an English adjective and past participle meaning provided with a roof or covered. It describes structures that have a roof, as opposed to roofless or open structures. The term is used in architecture, construction, real estate, and historical descriptions of buildings. Roofed shelters include houses, pavilions, market halls, greenhouses, and covered walkways.

In a broader sense, roofed can describe any object covered by a roof, such as a roofed boat or a roofed wagon, though these are less common. In practice, roofed structures are characterized by their protective cover against weather, rather than by specific roofing style.

The word comes from the noun roof, with the suffix -ed to form the past participle and adjective. The verb roof (to provide with a roof) is common in construction language; roofed appears in both past tense and participial use.

Examples of usage include descriptions of buildings and spaces designed to provide shelter, such as a roofed market that operates year-round or a roofed arcade intended to shelter pedestrians. In contrast, roofless refers to structures lacking a covering, and roofing refers to the process or material used to create a roof.
