I appreciate you can wear it around your neck like a scarf or pull it up over your head like a hoody? So, why is it not call a Scoody, Hoofy, Scardy, Shoody, Hody, Horf or some other daft combination? The ‘sn’ bit has me a bit perplexed. Can anyone shed some light on this?
But who cares about all that, the most important thing is that this Lambswool Snood is keeping me toasty during this cold snap we’re having! Yes, I’ve been wearing it indoors recently.
Disclosure: The Snood was compliments of Presents for Men

Its so named after the Old English word snõd
Ohhhhh!
No idea about the name. But I can’t help noticing it’s from Presents for Men.
You are a woman. I am a man.
You should send it to me immediately.
I had the same train of thought, but it’s a site for men to buy gifts for others. :-)
Darn.
I had to wikipedia it – and it as first recorded as a word in 725, so it probably pre-dates the words scarf and hoodie
Ahhh! Thank you!
Look at all the linguists here, I had my own clever explanation in my head: snug+hood = snood, well at least in my head ;)
