覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
hod は建築現場でれんがやモルタルを運ぶ、長い柄付きのV字形容器。brick hod、hod carrier の組み合わせで、作業員が容器を肩に担いでれんがを運ぶ場面を覚える。一般的な bucket と違い、建築材料を運びやすい開いた形と長い柄が特徴。
Picture a builder carrying bricks on the shoulder in a long-handled, open V-shaped container. That specialized tool is a hod. Learn it through the combinations brick hod and hod carrier, since the word rarely appears outside construction or historical descriptions of building work. Unlike an ordinary bucket, a hod is shaped to hold bricks or mortar and is designed to be supported on the shoulder. The practical scene—loading bricks, lifting the handle, and carrying them up to a mason—makes the short word easier to retain.
例文
The laborer carried a hod of bricks up the ladder.
作業員はれんがを入れたホッドを担いではしごを上った。
The hod was filled with mortar for the bricklayer.
れんが職人のためにホッドへモルタルが入れられた。

hod の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語の hott、hotte（背負い籠）から発達した語で、古フランス語 hotte を経て、フランク語系の *hotta（籠）にさかのぼると考えられている。hood と同源であるとする根拠は明確ではない。
Hod developed from Middle English hott or hotte, meaning a pannier or carrying basket, through Old French hotte. The French word is generally traced to a Frankish or other Germanic form meaning “basket.” A direct etymological connection with hood is not established.
