Explanation:
Your text is short a space. It should read "rollen geborgd." ROLLEN is a plural noun, and the unusual word GEBORGD comes from the noun BORG, which is a locking pin or something along those lines.

Example sentence(s):
  • Het schip wordt beladen met rollen staal. Deze rollen worden geborgd met wiggen.
