A hood or hooded garment, especially one that is part of a cloak or robe.
From Old French capuche, derived from Medieval Latin capucium, meaning hood. The word is related to the Italian cappuccio and Spanish capucha, all referring to head coverings worn by monks and religious orders.
The word 'capuche' gave us 'Capuchin' monks, who were named for their distinctive pointed hoods—and later, the adorable capuchin monkeys were named because their head markings supposedly resembled those same hoods!
