Cucullus

/kjuːˈkʌləs/ noun

Definition

A hood, cowl, or hooded garment in Latin; also used in anatomy and botany for hood-like structures.

Etymology

From Latin cucullus, possibly derived from a Celtic root relating to covering or concealing. The word entered English scholarly vocabulary through medieval ecclesiastical and botanical usage.

Kelly Says

The Roman word 'cucullus' jumped from everyday monk's clothing into modern scientific terminology, showing how practical medieval Latin became the DNA of modern botanical and anatomical naming.
