Morphology

sunproof = sun + proof (transparent) = sun + proof

The meaning is a straightforward compound of 'sun' + 'proof' where 'proof' functions as a productive combining element meaning 'resistant to'.

Etymology

Sunproof combines sun and proof, where sun is the same as the bright star above us and proof means 'protected against', just like waterproof. So a sunproof item is made not to be damaged or changed by sunlight.
