Morphology

anticorrosion = corrosion (transparent) = anti + corrosion

The noun is a standard technical formation meaning a treatment or substance that works against corrosion, so the parts are straightforwardly interpretable.

Etymology

Anticorrosion is a treatment or coating that stops rust on metal. The word is made from anti- 'against' and corrosion 'the process of eating away' or 'rust', so an anticorrosion product works to prevent that damage.
