hat

Worn on top

A hat is a shaped covering for the head, typically with a crown and brim, worn for warmth, sun protection, fashion, or to signal role or status.

Hats range from casual baseball caps to formal top hats to functional hard hats.

To wear many hats means to hold multiple roles or responsibilities.

If you keep something under your hat, you keep it secret.

To pass the hat is to collect money, usually for a cause.

Hat in hand suggests humble supplication.
