This might be a double definition.

'criminal's' is the first definition.
(hood is a kind of criminal)

'snood' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hood that I've seen before include "Bronx district" , "Cover < the upper part < of tough" , "A cover; Bismarck sank it, 1941" , "Head covering of an American gangster" , "Capital cover" .)
