Explanation

A coat is a piece of clothing worn over your other clothes to keep you warm, especially in cold or rainy weather. For example, people wear heavy coats in winter snow. But “coat” can also mean a thin layer of something that covers another surface. For example, you might paint a wall with one coat of paint or cover a cake with a coat of chocolate. So, a coat can be both a warm garment you wear or a protective/covering layer on any surface. You can also use it as a verb meaning to cover something with a layer of material.
