/ˈwɪndʃiːld//ˈwɪndʃiːld/

The term "windshield" is a combination of two words: "wind" and "shield". It literally means a shield against the wind. While the word itself emerged in the early 20th century, the concept of protecting drivers from wind has a long history. Early automobiles used rudimentary windshields made of leather, canvas, or even wood. As technology advanced, glass windshields became the standard, and the term "windshield" solidified its place in the English language.
