Ethan's coat put on back-to-front? (3,2)

I believe the answer is:

end on

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

'back-to-front?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'ethan's coat put on' is the wordplay.
'coat' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the letters which coat the word are used).
'put on' becomes 'don' (as in donning or putting on an item of clothing).
'ethan' with its centre removed is 'en'.
'en'+'don'='END-ON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for end on that I've seen before include "pointing away" , "With one side or the other towards the observer" , "lengthy perspective" , "With one side pointing towards the front" , "facing extremity" .)
