Usually they were a step-up from a cowl in that you could pull it up over your head. I’d always considered it as an amalgam of a hood and something snuggly – a snug hood.

You know those things that hang down the back of the graduation outfit, for Master's graduates? It's a hood, which has a bit of a long tail, and kinda incorporates a scarf. OED says, though: A fillet, band, or ribbon, for confining the hair; latterly, in Scotland (and the north of England), the distinctive hair-band worn by young unmarried women. More recently, a fashionable bag-like or closed woman's hairnet, usu. worn at the back of the head. It’s a hood.

]]> Comment on anyone need a doctor? by Janet http://chicwithstix.wordpress.com/2009/11/18/anyone-need-a-doctor/#comment-998 Janet Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:17:49 +0000 http://chicwithstix.wordpress.com/?p=1010#comment-998 Interesting sign. I didn't need a doctor today but I did need a ball of a particular yarn so I went to this shop. Alas, she didn't stock it. She thought she might get that brand but I didn't have the label with me so I couldn't give her the exact name. I was in a hurry so I didn't linger. Interesting sign.
