Etymology
'oaked' originates from English, specifically formed from the noun 'oak' plus the adjectival/past-participle suffix '-ed', where 'oak' referred to the tree or its wood.
'oaked' developed from the Old English word 'āc' (oak) through Middle English 'oak' combined with the suffix '-ed' to form past-participle/adjectival uses, eventually giving modern English 'oaked'.
Initially it meant 'made of or relating to oak (wood)', but over time it evolved to frequently mean 'aged or flavoured in oak (especially of wines and spirits)'.
