Morphology
weatherproofing = weatherproof (transparent) = weather + proof + ing
Formed by the clear compound 'weather' + 'proof' with the productive nominalizing suffix '-ing', so the meaning 'process/materials that make something resistant to weather' is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word weatherproofing joins weather and proof; think of proof as 'protective', just like in waterproof. So weatherproofing means making something 'safe from the weather' by adding seals or coatings to stop rain, wind, or sun damage.
