## AI Etymology
hoodie comes from hood + the diminutive/familiar suffix -ie. Hood descends from Old English hōd ('hood, covering for the head'), from Proto-Germanic *hōdaz. Morphologically, the ending is part of the etymology: the suffix is attached to the older base named in the history, producing a later English derivative. In present English, the noun sense is "a hooded sweatshirt", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as hood and hooded. Its semantic neighborhood includes sweatshirt, hoody, jumper, and pullover, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Old English hōd and Proto-Germanic *hōdaz.
