A hooded cloak or cape-like garment with a hood, worn in medieval and Renaissance times; variant of 'capuche.'
From French 'capoche' or Old French 'capuche', from Italian 'capuccia', derived from Latin 'cappa' (cape) with a diminutive or augmentative suffix.
Medieval capoche garments had hoods so large and decorative they became status symbols—nobles wore them embroidered and lined with fur, while peasants got simple cloth versions.
