Morphology

hoodie = hood (transparent) = hood + ie

Formed straightforwardly from 'hood' + the informal noun-forming suffix '-ie', yielding a noun for a hooded garment.

Etymology

Hoodie comes from hood meaning 'head covering' plus the small friendly ending -ie, like in 'doggie', so it means a casual, soft jacket with a hood that you wear for comfort.
