HOOD is a one-sided word. It finishes 7 compounds in this list and heads none of them, so it can end a chain but never sit in the middle of one.
Each of these makes a compound ending in HOOD.
HOOD here is not the head covering. It is a separate Old English word, hād, meaning state or condition, which survives only as this ending: BOYHOOD, BROTHERHOOD, FATHERHOOD, MANHOOD, MOTHERHOOD, SISTERHOOD, WOMANHOOD. Every one of them is a kinship word turned into a stage of life.
