Morphology

anticorrosion = corrosion (transparent) = anti + corrosion

The meaning is directly predictable as 'against corrosion' or 'preventing corrosion' from the prefix anti- plus the base word corrosion.

Etymology

Anticorrosion describes something made to stop rust or damage. The word breaks into anti- meaning 'against' and corrode meaning 'to eat away' or 'rust', so it means 'against eating away', which is why an anticorrosion coating protects metal.
