coat

Paint's single pass

A coat is an outer garment with sleeves, typically worn for warmth or protection: She grabbed her coat before heading out.

The word extends to any covering layer—a coat of paint, a coat of fur on an animal, a coat of dust.

To coat something is to cover it with a layer: Coat the pan with butter.
