Morphology

antifat = fat (transparent) = anti + fat

The meaning is directly built from 'anti-' meaning against and 'fat' meaning body fat.

Etymology

The word antifat comes from the parts anti- 'against' and fat 'body fat', like in antibiotic or anti-war where anti- means 'against'. So antifat describes something that fights or is made to reduce body fat.
