A hood-like covering or veil, particularly one worn as ceremonial dress in some religious or formal contexts (archaic).
From Latin 'caput' (head) combined with a suffix suggesting a covering; the exact etymology is debated by scholars of archaic terms.
Caluptra appears in obscure historical texts describing formal dress codes—it's so rarely used today that few people recognize it, making it a true relic of forgotten vocabularies.
