The Chinese word 外套 (wàitāo) for "overcoat" is composed of two characters: 外 (wài) and 套 (tāo). The character 外 (wài) means "outside" or "external", while the character 套 (tāo) means "cover" or "sheath". Together, these two characters form the word 外套 (wàitāo), which literally means "outer cover" or "overcoat". This term is used to refer to a garment that is worn over other clothing to provide warmth or protection from the elements.
