Doorstep treated with fur, protected against some of the elements? (11)

I believe the answer is:

rustproofed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'protected against some of the elements?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'doorstep treated with fur' is the wordplay.
'treated with' is an anagram indicator.
'doorstep' with its letters anagrammed with 'fur' can make 'RUSTPROOFED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
