Bulletproofing

/ˈbʊlɪtˌpruːfɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The process or material used to make something resistant to bullet penetration.

Etymology

From 'bulletproof' plus the '-ing' suffix, creating a gerund noun that describes both the action and the protective measures themselves.

Kelly Says

Modern bullet-proofing uses layered materials like Kevlar and ceramic plates—the layers work together by spreading the impact across a larger area, like a crash-absorbing bumper!
