A cassock is a long, close robe, most often black, worn by Christian priests and sometimes by other church people such as choir members. It is everyday church dress, not the special bright clothes used only during a service — those often go on over it. Catholic, , and Orthodox clergy all have versions; a bishop’s cassock is not always black. You will see the word in writing about churches, films, and history more than in ordinary talk. It has nothing to do with cassava, and it is not a judge’s gown or a graduation gown, even though all of those are long.
聖職人員穿的長袍(多半黑色;不是祭典上那件華麗的祭衣)
組成From Middle French casaque (“cloak”).
