A close-fitting Scottish cap or bonnet, historically resembling a bell or clock in shape.
Compound of 'clock' (bell-shaped) and 'mutch' (Scottish word for cap, from Middle English), referring to a head covering shaped like a bell or dome.
The clockmutch represents how regional dialects create specific vocabulary for everyday objects—only in Scotland would you have a unique word for a bell-shaped hat because of the particular style worn in that region's culture and climate.
