'cedar-made' is a compound of the English noun 'cedar' and the past-participle/adjectival form 'made'. 'cedar' itself comes into English via Latin 'cedrus' from Greek 'kedros'. 'made' is the past participle of the verb 'make', from Old English roots.

'cedar' entered English from Latin 'cedrus' (from Greek 'kedros'), and 'made' developed as the past participle form of Old English 'macian'/'macod' (to make); the compound 'cedar-made' is a modern English formation combining the two.

Initially, 'cedar' referred to the tree species and 'made' indicated having been produced; combined as 'cedar-made', the phrase specifically denotes an object constructed from cedar wood.
