hod
れんが運び容器
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.

hod の語源・成り立ち Etymology
中英語hoddeから。古フランス語hotte（背負い籠）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語*hud-（覆い）と関連する。V字型の容器を柄の先に付け、れんがやモルタルを運ぶ道具。語根はhood（頭巾）と同源で「物を入れて覆う」イメージが共通する。
Hod entered English through Middle English hod or hodde and is associated with Old French hotte, a basket carried on the back. Its deeper history is not fully certain, though it has been connected with Germanic words involving a covering or container. The modern construction sense developed around a specialized open receptacle with a handle, used for transporting bricks and mortar. Any proposed connection with hood should be treated as a historical relationship rather than a guide to present meaning.
