waterproof

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

'mackintosh' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'power of art excited' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'power'+'of'+'art'='powerofart'
'powerofart' anagrammed gives 'WATERPROOF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waterproof that I've seen before include "Impermeable" , "Mac" , "Impervious to rain" , "Rain-resistant" , "Protective garment" .)
