black-coated positive

Morphology

black-coated = black + coated (transparent) = black + coat + ed

Formed by the straightforward combination of 'black' + 'coated' (where 'coated' = coat + -ed), so the meaning 'having a black coat' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Black-coated is made of two simple parts: black meaning 'dark' and coat meaning 'a covering' or an animal's 'fur'. So, black-coated means 'covered in black', like a dog or horse with black fur.
