The state or period of being a foal, or the young age of a horse from birth until it becomes a yearling.
From Old English 'fola' (foal) + '-hood' (a suffix meaning state, condition, or period of time), similar to childhood or falsehood.
The suffix '-hood' is ancient and powerful—it transforms any noun into an idea about a life stage or condition, which is why we have neighborhood, brotherhood, and even adulthood, all sharing this same Old English building block.
