aprons
Cooks' protective wear
Aprons are protective garments worn over clothing, typically tied at the waist and covering the front of the body.
Cooks wear aprons to shield against spills and stains; craftspeople wear them for protection from tools and materials.
The word extends to protective or covering surfaces: the apron of a stage is the area in front of the curtain, and an airport apron is the paved area where aircraft park and load.
