Morphology

stormproof = storm + proof (transparent) = storm + proof

A clear compound of 'storm' + 'proof' following the productive pattern (e.g., waterproof) meaning resistant to storms.

Etymology

Stormproof combines storm and proof. In this kind of word, proof means 'resistant to' or 'protected against', as in waterproof and bulletproof, so stormproof means made to stand up to storms.
