Morphology

shockproof = shock + proof (transparent) = shock + proof

Compositional 'shock' + 'proof' clearly indicates resistance to physical shocks/impacts, following the common pattern of '-proof' compounds.

Etymology

Shockproof breaks into shock ('sudden hit or impact') and proof ('resistant to'), the same idea you see in bulletproof. That's why a shockproof case or watch is made to resist damage from drops or hard hits.
