Coefficient of lift

Can someone explain how the coefficient of lift can be greater than one. My understanding (clearly incorrectly) was that the coefficient of lift was the proportion of the dynamic pressure contributing to the lift force. How can you have more force than the dynamic pressure that is available.

If you can help me with the answer I’ll consider ending lockdown!

regards Dan
