† headlesshoodn.

Forms: 1500s headlessehood.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: headless adj., -hood suffix.

Etymology: Probably < headless adj. (compare headless adj. 3) + -hood suffix.The quot. has alternatively been interpreted as showing a collocation of headless adj. and hood n.¹, denoting a hood without a head in it, as a metaphor for a brainless person. It has also been suggested that the second element may show the reflex of Middle English hōde (see had n.); compare Spenser's use of hood in sense ‘state, condition’ (compare had n. 4) in the following passage:1590 E. Spenser Faerie Queene v. vii. 21 How couldst thou weene, through that disguized hood, To hide thy state from being vnderstood? Another suggestion that the first element is a variant of heedless adj. seems less likely, as *heedlesshood is apparently not otherwise attested (compare heedlesshood n.) and Spenser usually distinguishes between headless and heedless.

Obsolete. rare.

Probably: brainlessness; heedlessness.
