Long warm coat worn outside

A long, warm coat that you wear over your other clothes when you go outside in cold weather.

Padron ng paggamit: to wear [an overcoat]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "overcoat" for any type of coat or light jacket. In modern English, "overcoat" usually suggests a long, fairly heavy coat for cold weather, often a bit formal. For everyday light outerwear, "coat" or "jacket" is more common.
Mga kasingkahulugan
coat (More general; can be light or heavy and not always long, while an overcoat is usually long and for cold weather.) | topcoat (Very close in meaning; often used in fashion contexts for a smart, sometimes slightly lighter overcoat.)

Final protective coat of paint

The last layer of paint or clear liquid that you put on something to protect it or make it look finished.

Padron ng paggamit: an overcoat of [paint/varnish]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may think this meaning is related to the clothing overcoat. In technical and painting contexts, "overcoat" refers to a layer of paint or similar material, not to clothes.
Mga kasingkahulugan
topcoat (Common technical term for the outermost coat of paint or finish; essentially the same meaning in painting contexts.) | finish coat (Emphasizes that the layer is the last, visible finishing layer, not just protective.)
Mga kasalungat
undercoat (A preparatory layer of paint applied before the final coats; functionally opposite in the paint-layer sequence.) | primer (The first base coat put on a surface to help later coats stick; opposite end of the coating process from an overcoat.)
