Morphology

antiradiation = radiation (transparent) = anti + radiation

The meaning is directly compositional: 'anti-' means against or opposing, and 'radiation' names the harmful phenomenon being protected against.

Etymology

Antiradiation comes from the prefix anti- meaning 'against' and radiation meaning 'rays' or energy sent out, so it describes something made to protect against harmful rays.
