The word "capouch" is derived from the French term "capuce" which dates back to the 14th century. "Capuce" itself evolved from the Latin word "caputium" meaning "hood" or "covering for the head". Over time, "capuce" was anglicized to "capouch" and adopted into the English language. The term generally refers to a type of hood or cap, especially one with a long, pointed hood often worn by certain religious orders or as part of historical attire.
