hood: [OE] Ultimately hood and hat are the same word, and both mean etymologically ‘headcovering’. They go back to an Indo-European *kadh- ‘cover, protect’, which in the case of hood produced a West Germanic derivative *khōdaz. From it are descended German hut ‘hat’, Dutch hoed ‘hat’, and English hood. Hoodwink [16] originally meant literally ‘cover someone’s eyes with a hood or blindfold so that they could not see’; the modern figurative sense ‘deceive’ is first recorded in the 17th century. => hat
