Word origin

The word 'hooded' originates from the late Middle Ages, derived from the noun 'hood', which itself comes from the Old English 'hod', meaning a covering for the head. This term has evolved over time, with 'hood' being used in various contexts to refer to a head covering used in clothing. The suffix '-ed' indicates that the item has a hood, emphasizing the protective and functional aspect of the garment. Historical garments often included hoods for warmth and modesty, and this trend continues today in modern fashion. The term 'hooded' has also transcended clothing to describe animals and other objects that feature a hood-like structure, further broadening its usage in the English language.
