Fail-proof

"He put all of his money in what he thougt was a fail-proof investment plan".

Does "fail-proof" mean the plan which protects against failure?

Is 'fail-proof' common usage?

Thanks

Hi, meantolearn The suffix -proof indicates withstanding something. So in your case - a plan that can't fail.
