About

The Chinese word 大衣 is formed by combining the character 大, meaning "big" or "large", with 衣, meaning "clothing" or "garment"; this creates a compound where 大 modifies 衣 to directly signify "big clothing", specifically referring to an overcoat or heavy outer garment designed to be worn over other attire for added warmth or protection.
