Morphology

bombproof + design

The adjective 'bombproof' (resistant to explosions or heavy damage) directly modifies 'design', yielding a straightforward compositional meaning: a design that is highly resistant or durable. This regular adjective+noun pattern is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Bombproof design comes from the literal idea of a bombproof design used to protect buildings and vehicles from bombs during war. So today it means something 'extremely durable' or 'very resistant to damage'.
