- 1厚長大衣（尤其軍用或舊式的那種，不是一般外套）
A greatcoat is a long, heavy coat, usually wool, that comes down to the knees or even lower. It is made to keep out cold and rain, not to look light. You see it on soldiers in old photographs, on people in hard European winters, and in stories set a hundred years ago. “Great” here does not mean “wonderful”. It means large. British English uses this word more than American English; in the US people more often say . It feels a little old-fashioned now. A is for rain and is often thinner; a greatcoat is about weight and warmth.
組成great (here: large) + coat (an outer piece of clothing). Great goes back through Old English grēat; coat comes, through French, from a Latin word for a kind of tunic.
