Definition
Designed or sealed to prevent air currents or drafts from passing through.
Etymology
Compound word from 'draft' (air current) + 'proof' (resistant to). 'Proof' comes from Old French 'prove' meaning tested or proven. The compound emerged in modern English in the 19th century for weatherproofing.
Kelly Says
The invention of weatherstripping and draftproof windows probably saved more energy than people realize—before modern sealing, a medieval castle lost heat so quickly that nobles sat by fires even in summer.
