Morphology

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

A straightforward compound of 'heavy' + 'coated' meaning 'having a heavy coat', so the sense is directly derived from its parts.

Etymology

Heavy-coated combines heavy ('weighty' or 'thick') and coat ('outer covering' like a jacket or an animal's fur). So it literally means 'wearing a heavy coat' or 'covered by a thick layer', which is why we use it for people or animals with a thick outer covering.
