英语词汇snood的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

That is the sign of maidenhood. One wouldn’t think James Joyce wrote this, but it is from his early poem “Bid Adieu to Maidenhood.” Snood is mostly a crossword puzzle word today; the silk ribbon with which Scot- tish and Irish maidens tied their hair isn’t used much anymore. The headband was worn only by virgins and by custom had to be replaced with another hair covering if a girl married or lost her virginity before marriage. Snood is a very old word, dating back to the eighth century and probably derives from Swedish sno, “twine, string.” In more recent times it has meant a wom- an’s hair net.
