Sweatshirts with a hood attached, typically made of soft, warm fabric and often with a front pocket or drawstring.
From 'hood' (a covering for the head) + '-ie' or '-y' (a diminutive suffix). The garment itself is modern, emerging as casual sportswear in the 1970s but becoming mainstream culture in the 1990s.
The hoodie started as a practical piece of athletic wear but became so associated with youth culture and protests that some schools and stores banned them—it's wild how a piece of clothing becomes politically charged just because young people wear it.
