How it's used
Functions primarily as an attributive adjective to describe features of products designed to mitigate impact or vibration. It is frequently applied to consumer electronics, footwear, and construction materials. Unlike general adjectives, it often appears in technical or marketing contexts to highlight a specific performance capability.
Examples
The shock absorption of these sneakers is really strong.
Have you bought a shockproof case to protect your phone yet?

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a verb to mean 'to shake'; it specifically describes the quality of resisting or absorbing external shocks. It is not used to describe a person's emotional state or reaction to a surprise.
