Glareproof

/ˈɡlɛrpruːf/ adjective

Definition

Designed or treated to prevent or resist glare; protected against harsh reflective light.

Etymology

From 'glare' + 'proof' (resistant to, protected from). This is a modern compound formed from industrial and technological needs for non-glare surfaces.

Kelly Says

Glareproof is marketing language that emerged with car windshields and eyeglasses—it's less technical than 'anti-glare' but promises the same thing, showing how commercial language influences everyday English.
