Hood (headgear)
A hood is a kind of headgear that covers most of the head and neck and sometimes the face. Hoods that cover mainly the sides and top of the head, and leave the face mostly or partly open may be worn for protection from the environment (typically cold weather or rain), for fashion, as a form of traditional dress or uniform, or in the case of knights, an armoured hood is used for protection against bladed weapons. In some cases, hoods are used to prevent the wearer from seeing where they are going (e.g., in cases where a prisoner is hooded). Hoods with eye holes can be used to prevent the wearer from being identified, as in the case of Ku Klux Klan members or Islamic terrorists.
==Etymology==
The etymology for hood is "covering," Old English hod "hood," from Proto-Germanic
*hodaz (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian hod "hood," Middle Dutch hoet, Dutch hoed "hat," Old High German huot "helmet, hat," German Hut "hat," Old Frisian hode "guard, protection"), from PIE
*kadh- "cover" (see hat)." The modern spelling is early 15th century to indicate a "long" vowel, which is no longer pronounced as such. Meaning "removable cover for an automobile engine" attested by 1905. ''Little Red Riding Hood'' (1729) translates Charles Perrault's ''Petit Chaperon Rouge'' ("Contes du Temps Passé" 1697)."〔http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=hood&allowed_in_frame=0〕
