hood

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'garment' is the definition.
(I know that hood is a type of hood)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hood that I've seen before include "Thomas -, Eng. poet" , "Protective cover - violent criminal (slang)" , "Part of subfusc" , "A cover; Bismarck sank it, 1941" , "academic garment" .)
