Morphology

sweatproof = sweat + proof (transparent) = sweat + proof

Clearly formed from 'sweat' + 'proof' meaning 'resistant to sweat'; the compound's meaning follows standard English productive pattern.

Etymology

Sweatproof combines sweat and proof, where proof means 'keeps out', just like in waterproof. So something sweatproof is made to keep sweat out and work well even when you are hot or active.
