The condition, status, or collective realm of coxcombs; foolish and vain behavior as a whole.
From 'coxcomb' with the suffix '-hood,' which historically indicated a state, condition, or group (as in 'knighthood' or 'priesthood').
The suffix '-hood' traditionally marked important social roles and statuses—using it for 'coxcombhood' is actually quite clever mockery, treating foolishness as if it were a dignified rank.
State or rank of being a coxcomb; male-coded term. Applies foolishness to a social role traditionally held by men, not abstractly.
Use 'foolishness' or 'vanity' instead of gendered role language.
