doored
Equipped with entries
Doored describes being struck by a car door that opens suddenly into your path, typically while cycling: I got doored on my way to work.
The word captures a specific urban hazard—a driver or passenger swinging open a door without checking for approaching traffic.
Less commonly, doored can mean fitted with doors: a doored cabinet.
