Word origin
The term 'weatherproof' originated in the early 20th century, combining 'weather' and 'proof' to signify something that is resistant to weather conditions. As outdoor activities became more popular, the need for weatherproof clothing and equipment grew, leading to the development of specialized materials and treatments to enhance weather resistance.
