Why FUR is the best answer for Petty coat? NYT Mini Crossword Clue?

However, when combined, "Petty coat" sounds phonetically like "petticoat," which is a historical term for a woman's undergarment worn under a skirt or dress.

The pun here lies in the misdirection caused by the spelling "petty" instead of "petticoat," leading solvers to think of something insignificant (petty) when in fact, the answer refers to "FUR," which can metaphorically be a type of coat worn by animals.

Therefore, "FUR" cleverly resolves the clue by playing on both the sound and the alternate meaning of "coat."
