cassock

cassock
Noun
pl: cassocks

This garment carries a strong connotation of ecclesiastical authority and tradition, specifically within the Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox traditions. It is viewed as a symbol of the wearer's clerical status and commitment to their religious office, evoking an image of formality, sobriety, and liturgical discipline.

Because it is a specific piece of clothing, it functions as a standard countable noun. It is typically distinguished from the surplice or alb, which are looser white garments often worn over the cassock during specific rites.
