Morphology

hooded + coat

The noun phrase is directly compositional: 'hooded' means 'having a hood' and 'coat' is an outer garment, so a learner who knows both words will readily infer a coat with a hood. This adjective+noun construction is literal and cross-linguistically common, making the meaning immediately predictable for a B1 learner.

Etymology
