Having a cylinder or cylinders, or shaped like a cylinder; often used in mechanical contexts like 'four-cylindered engine.'
From 'cylinder' (a solid geometric shape or mechanical part) plus the suffix '-ed' (having or possessed of). The term combines the noun with an adjectival suffix to indicate possession or presence of cylinders.
The jump from 2-cylinder engines to 4-cylinder engines revolutionized cars in the early 1900s—not just because of more power, but because the extra cylinders made engines run smoother and allowed cars to actually climb hills without stalling!
