Etymology
The word 'heatproof' is a compound adjective formed from 'heat' and 'proof'. 'Heat' dates back to the Old English word 'hætu', which is related to the Old High German 'heiza' and ultimately stems from Proto-West Germanic roots. It refers to the warmth or degree of temperature. 'Proof', on the other hand, derives from the Latin 'probare', meaning 'to test' or 'to examine', and it evolved through Middle English before taking on the meaning of being resistant or impervious to something. The combination of these two terms illustrates the capacity of a material to resist heat, thus giving rise to its modern usage in various fields, particularly when discussing safety and performance in environments subject to high temperatures.
