HOOD - Page 4

A "hood" is a covering or headgear that typically encloses the head and neck. It can be a part of a garment, such as a cloak or jacket, or exist as a standalone accessory. Hoods are often designed for warmth, protection against the elements, or fashion. In architecture, a "hood" can refer to a structural element that provides coverage over an area, such as a hood over a fireplace or cooking stove to capture smoke and grease. The term can also refer to certain cultural contexts, such as a neighborhood, often associated with urban or community identity.
