How Soundproof
Surface Forms
Morphology
soundproofing = soundproof (transparent) = sound + proof + ing
Built from the clear compound 'sound' + 'proof' with the productive nominalizing/gerundial suffix '-ing', so the meaning 'materials or methods that make things soundproof' is directly derivable.
Etymology
Soundproofing comes from the two words sound and proof, where proof means 'resistant to', just like waterproof stops water. So soundproofing is material or methods that stop sound from entering or leaving a room.
