Wearing a coif; having the head covered with a close-fitting cap, especially a white linen head covering.
From Old French 'coife' via Norman French, the word traveled into Middle English and the past participle form describes someone wearing this traditional head covering.
Medieval and Renaissance 'coifed' women were often seen as respectable and modest, making the coif a status symbol—much like how wearing certain brands signals status today.
