shingled

/ʃˈɪŋɡəld/ verb

simple past and past participle of shingle

Word Origin Shingle comes from Latin scindere 'to split' — because shingles are split pieces of wood used for roofing. Shingled means covered with those split pieces. The PIE root *sek- 'to cut' also gives us section, segment, and saw. So a shingled roof is literally a 'split-wood' roof.
