トレーナー
とれーなー
noun
sweatshirt; trainer (person)
1.
sweatshirt, crewneck sweatshirt

寒くなってきたからトレーナーを買おう。
It's getting cold, so let's buy a sweatshirt.

2.

A person who trains or coaches others, especially in sports or fitness.

From English "trainer." In Japanese, the clothing sense (sweatshirt) is the most common usage and is a classic wasei-eigo term — in English, "trainer" refers to a person or shoes, not a sweatshirt.
USAGE:
The clothing sense is used very broadly in everyday Japanese. A トレーナー specifically refers to a pullover sweatshirt without a hood (a hooded version would be パーカー). The trainer/coach sense overlaps with コーチ.
COMMON COLLOCATIONS:
- トレーナーを着る: to wear a sweatshirt
- 裏起毛のトレーナー: a fleece-lined sweatshirt
- パーソナルトレーナー: personal trainer
- 専属トレーナー: dedicated trainer
SIMILAR WORDS:
- パーカー: hoodie, hooded sweatshirt — a sweatshirt with a hood
- スウェット: sweat(shirt/pants) — can refer to the material or the garment
- コーチ: coach — overlaps with sense 2, but コーチ focuses more on strategy and instruction
