Morphology

rustproofed = rustproof (transparent) = rust + proof + ed

The adjective is the past participle of the verb 'rustproof' (rust + proof), so the meaning 'treated to resist rust' is directly built from its parts.

Etymology

Rustproofed comes from rust and proof, like in waterproof, so you can picture something that is 'protected against rust'. The ending -ed shows it has been treated or made that way.
