Did you know that the term coat rack, before qualifying a device on foot or fixed to a wall, allowing to hang coats or other clothes, designated an officer in charge of carrying the coat of a great character such as the King. Then in 1798, the coat rack entered the dictionary of the French Academy to designate this wooden or metal hook fixed to the wall to hang clothes. Until then, a simple branch, a nail or a peg in the wall did the trick.
