antifoaming

/ˌæntɪfˈoʊmɪŋ/ adj

That inhibits the formation of foam

Word Origin Antifoaming combines Greek anti- 'against' and foam, from Old English fām 'foam, surf.' The PIE root *spoi-mo- 'foam' also gives us spume and possibly sponge. So antifoaming agents prevent bubbles. Anti- is a common prefix: antibody, antifreeze, antidote. Foam itself gives us foamy, foamless, and foaming.
