Explanation and Etymology - (コート) ko-to
The Japanese word 「コート」 (ko-to) refers to a "coat" or "cloak." The origin of this expression dates back to the influence of the English language, where the term "coat" is used. With modernization and globalization, many English words have been incorporated into Japanese, resulting in the formation of words using katakana to designate concepts that were previously unknown or did not have a direct equivalent in the Japanese language.
The adoption of the term 「コート」 (ko-to) in Japanese vocabulary occurred mainly in the late 19th century and early 20th century, during the Meiji era, when Japan began to open its doors for more intense interactions with the West. During this period, new fashions and styles of clothing were introduced, and the coat became an essential item in Japanese clothing, especially in colder climates.
