Morphology

sale-proof = sale (transparent) = sale + proof

Formed from 'sale' + the productive suffix '-proof' meaning 'resistant to' (cf. 'waterproof'), so the meaning is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word sale-proof is made from two words, sale meaning 'discount' or a time of price cuts, and proof meaning 'resistant to', as in waterproof. So a sale-proof product is made or priced so it will not be reduced in a 'sale'.
