It was introduced in the "EuroTalk TalkNow" product. It's official as
far as I'm concerned.

My notes say:

"rain shield". Note: the existence of a noun *{SIS} "rain" is probably
limited to this expression (i.e. it's a fossilised remnant rather than
a productive noun). Source: personal discussion with Marc Okrand at
qepHom wa'maHDIch, November 2011, pne.
