RAINPROOF Meaning and Definition

  1. Rainproof is an adjective that is used to describe an object, substance, or material that is resistant to or impervious to rainwater. It refers to the ability of something to repel or withstand the penetration of water when exposed to rainfall. Rainproof items are designed or treated in such a way that they do not allow water to seep through or penetrate their surface.

    When something is rainproof, it is capable of effectively protecting the contents or the wearer from getting wet or damp during wet weather conditions. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in situations where dryness or moisture protection is required. Rainproof materials are commonly utilized in the production of various objects, such as raincoats, jackets, umbrellas, tents, and outdoor gear, aiming to keep individuals, belongings, or equipment dry.

    The rainproof property of an object can be achieved through different means. It can be inherent in the material itself, like synthetic fabrics that have water-repellent coatings or laminated layers preventing water absorption. Alternatively, an object can be treated with waterproofing agents or coatings to enhance its rainproof nature. Generally, rainproof items are designed to provide a reliable barrier against rainfall, enabling them to remain dry and functional even under heavy downpour.

Etymology of RAINPROOF

The word "rainproof" is formed by combining two morphemes: "rain" and "proof".

The noun "rain" derives from the Old English word "regn", which is related to the Old Norse word "regn" and the Gothic word "rign". These words all trace back further to the Proto-Germanic word "regnaz" and the Proto-Indo-European root "*reg-" meaning "moist, wet".

The second morpheme, "proof" comes from the Middle English word "prove" or "proven", which means to "test, examine, or scrutinize". It is derived from the Old French word "prover" and the Latin word "probare", which means "to test, prove, or approve".
