Local community’s garment (4)
I believe the answer is:
hood
'garment' is the definition.
(I know that hood is a type of hood)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hood that I've seen before include "Thomas -, Eng. poet" , "Protective cover - violent criminal (slang)" , "Part of subfusc" , "A cover; Bismarck sank it, 1941" , "academic garment" .)
