different between coaxing vs coaming

English

coaxing

coaxing (plural coaxings)

The act of one who coaxes.
After innumerable coaxings and threats, he agreed to do it.

From earlier coming, apparently from comb (“crest”) +? -ing; however, exact origin uncertain.

coaming (plural coamings)

(nautical) On a boat, the vertical side of above-deck structures, such as the coach roof, hatch, and cockpit.
A raised frame, designed to deflect or prevent entry of water, around an opening (e.g., a hatch or skylight) in a flat surface, such as a roof or deck.
- 1979, Cormac McCarthy, Suttree, Random House, p.92:
  Creepers threaded the wrecked windows of the coaches, ancient and chalky brown with their riveted seams and welted coamings like something proofed for descents into the sea.
