sugared sweets
Rare term for sweets coated with sugar; not commonly used in modern Japanese.
Because it's cold, I took out another blanket.
Old documents mention a sugared sweet called 掛け物.
Standard kanji spelling.
Variant kanji spelling; less common than 掛け物.
Compound of 掛け (kake, 'hanging' or 'covering') + 物 (mono, 'thing'). The meaning depends on context: a thing that is hung (scroll) or a thing that covers (bedding). The rare 'sugared sweets' sense may derive from the idea of something coated or covered with sugar.
