Definition
A coat is a piece of outer clothing worn over other clothes to keep you warm. It can also mean a layer that covers a surface, such as paint or dust.
Usage & Nuances
For clothing, common combinations are 'winter coat', 'rain coat/raincoat', and 'put on/take off a coat'. For surfaces, 'a coat of paint' is very common. Don't confuse clothing 'coat' with 'jacket': a coat is usually longer and warmer.
