Morphology

antirust = antirust (transparent) = anti + rust

The noun is a converted use of the adjective 'antirust', so the form change is mainly a category shift rather than a new spelling change.

Etymology

Antirust comes from anti- 'against' and rust, so an antirust is a substance or treatment put on metal to stop it from rusting. A helpful way to remember this is to think of antibiotic, where anti- also means 'against'.
