Morphology

antiglare = glare (transparent) = anti + glare

Clear prefixation with anti- meaning 'against' or 'preventing' plus glare; the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Antiglare comes from the parts anti- 'against' and glare 'very bright or blinding light'. So an antiglare surface or product is made to fight bright reflections and make screens or mirrors easier to see.
