Morphology

fogproof = fog + proof (transparent) = fog + proof

The compound combines 'fog' + 'proof' in the regular sense 'resistant to or preventing fog', a meaning directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Fogproof combines fog and proof, with proof used like in waterproof to mean 'resistant to' or 'keeps out'. So a fogproof surface is made to stop fog forming on lenses or glass.
