What does COATEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A short, close-fitting coat, historically worn by soldiers, or a similarly short coat made for a baby.
Military tailors of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries cut the coatee shorter than an ordinary coat, stopping at the waist at the front while sometimes leaving long tails behind, a style seen in many old regimental uniforms. Museums displaying historic uniforms often label a fitted, waist-length jacket a coatee to distinguish it from the longer coats worn in civilian dress of the same period. Outside the military sense, the word also describes a coatee made for an infant, a short warm layer worn over other baby clothes. Because both senses describe a coat cut noticeably shorter than usual, coatee has remained a useful word wherever a short-cut coat needs its own name.
