A slicker is a made of smooth, shiny material that water slides off. The picture many people have is a bright yellow coat, a little stiff and plastic-like, of the kind a fisher might wear in heavy rain. The word is more at home in American English; in daily talk many people just say . Though actually, slicker can also name a person: a city slicker is someone from the city who seems too smooth, too clever, a bit too pleased with themselves — that is not a coat at all. And slicker is also the everyday “more slick” form of the adjective slick. The coat is the sense filed here.
亮面雨衣、膠雨衣（台灣日常多半只說「雨衣」；city slicker 則是自以為時髦、油嘴滑舌的都市人，不是衣服）
組成From the adjective slick (smooth and shiny), and from slick (“to smooth or make slick”) + -er (a thing like that, or that does that).
