The dictionary also says that it means jacket or coat. This word needs an explanation!
Dictionary is a bit misleading here. The word used to be used for a long coat, but today, almost everyone calls that “Mantel” and I think 99% would be confused by “Rock”.
I have added that to my dictionary entry here, but yeah.. you’ll find that in books, but not in daily life.
