[ noun ] (clothing) a heavy coat worn over clothes in winter
Used in print (Robert Penn Warren, Wilderness....)He was standing there , he thought , in Virginia , in the thickening dusk , in a costly greatcoat that had belonged_to another Jew . That other Jew , a young_man too , had left that greatcoat behind , in a rich house , and marched away . (E. Lucas Myers, "The Vindication of Dr. Nestor,"...)The doctor was wearing a long New_England greatcoat , hardly necessary in the June weather but a garment which proved well adapted to the sequestration of hens . The doctor 's mind was working at a great speed ; he rose to put his greatcoat on and addressed Alex in a muted voice . The doctor sat_down rather wearily , caressing the hen and remarking that the city was not the place for a poultry loving man , but no_sooner was the remark out than a knock at this door obliged him to cover the hen with his greatcoat once_more . |
