A "hood" is also the large piece of metal at the front of a car that covers the engine: "When the car started making strange noises, we looked under the hood to see what was wrong." At a graduation ceremony, a "hood" is the piece of colored fabric that graduate students wear, showing what degree they have earned: "The engineering graduates have blue hoods, and the English graduates have red hoods."
