The word "hooded" derives from the Old English "hōd," meaning a soft covering for the head, which evolved into the modern "hood." The suffix "-ed" is added to form an adjective, indicating the state of having or wearing a hood. Over time, "hooded" expanded metaphorically to describe anything resembling a hood or suggesting concealment, often with mysterious or ominous undertones.
