coasters

Table stain preventers

Coasters are small mats placed under drinking glasses to protect surfaces from moisture, heat, or scratches.

They come in countless materials and designs—cork, cardboard, ceramic, novelty shapes.

Separately, coasters are amusement park rides: roller coasters.

A coaster can also be a ship that travels along coastlines rather than across oceans.
