wind shield
Car's front window
A wind shield is a barrier that blocks or deflects wind.
The two-word form emphasizes the protective function—a shield against wind—rather than the specific automotive part.
We set up a wind shield around the campfire.
The single word *windshield* specifically denotes the front glass panel of a vehicle.
