Coral's swimsuit? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bikini

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'coral's' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'swimsuit?' is the second definition.
(bikini is a kind of swimsuit)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bikini that I've seen before include "Beach clothing" , "Two-piece cozzie" , "sparse cover?" , "A small two -piece bathing costume" , "Site of A-Bomb tests; resultantly shocking swimwear!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
