I find it at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagoule
There is a relationship -- what the people referred to in the second link wore -- a cowl (
http://www.answers.com/cowl ). I think the origin is French, but I can't find anything specific either.
=(
Thanks for all the websites you gave me last time. The only word I am struggling with is 'cagoule'. I am unable to find the language of origin, old spelling and old meaning. Can anyone tell me a site to find this one. Or does anyone know the answer. Any help is welcome. Thanks.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Sorry I missed your other post because it sounds like "word searches" and that is one of my specialities! When you are looking for the definition of a word, it is necessary to have the context, or exactly how the word is used. Here are the various meanings of the word "cagoule:"
1. ca·goule (plural ca·goules)
noun
Definition:
U.K. lightweight anorak: a lightweight hooded waterproof top that often folds up and can be carried easily. IT is thigh-length., reaching to the knees. It is also called "parka."
[Mid-20th century. Via French, "cowl" < Latin cucullus "cap, hood"]
2. La Cagoule (The Cowl, press nickname coined by the Action Française
nationalist Maurice Pujo), officially called Comité secret d'action révolutionnaire (Committee for Revolutionary Action), was a violent French fascist-leaning and anti-communist group, active in the 1930s, and designed to attempt the overthrow of the French Third Republic. Its leader was Eugène Deloncle
3. The word "cagoule" is still used in French for a cowel with eye-holes
Thanks for your replies. Great help.
