Morphology
The adjective 'hooded' (having a hood) directly modifies the noun 'cloak' (an outer garment), so the combined meaning 'a cloak with a hood' is fully compositional. This adjective+noun pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Hooded cloak comes from the simple image of a long cloak with a hood you pull over your head. People wore these to keep warm, stay dry, or hide their face, so the term means 'a long outer garment with a hood that can be pulled over the head'.
