bonnet
Hat with ribbons
A bonnet is a hat that ties under the chin, traditionally worn by women and children.
The style varies from close-fitting caps to wide-brimmed sun bonnets: a baby's bonnet, pioneer women in calico bonnets.
In British English, the bonnet is the hood of a car—the hinged cover over the engine compartment.
To have a bee in your bonnet is to be preoccupied with an idea, often obsessively.
