Windcheater

Hi,Another "naive" question :-)<< windcheater >><< windbreaker >> windbreaker = a piece of clothes capable of "breaking" the wind? ok, it's quite intuitivewindcheater = a piece of clothes you put on to "cheat" the wind (*) ... can we draw parallels between (*) and such phrases as "cheat death" or "cheat fate" here? (this approach often helps students learn new words faster... )thank you!Mus-te
