linings
Coats have them
Linings are layers of material covering the inside of something.
A coat has a silk lining; a brake pad has a friction lining; a stomach has a mucosal lining.
The word often appears when discussing what's hidden beneath an outer surface: The linings of his pockets were worn through.
In the phrase silver linings, it refers to hopeful aspects concealed within misfortune.
