Morphology

creaseproof = crease + proof (transparent) = crease + proof

The meaning is directly derived from 'crease' + the productive combining element '-proof' meaning 'resistant to', so learners can infer 'resistant to creases'.

Etymology

Creaseproof joins two simple English words: crease (a 'fold' or 'wrinkle') and proof (as in waterproof, meaning 'resistant to' or 'not affected by'). So creaseproof describes fabric that does not get folds or wrinkles easily.
