hod - n., a portable trough or three-sided box for carrying plaster, mortar, or bricks, fixed crosswise on top of a pole and carried on the shoulder.


A hoddie is a guy who uses one to transport materials to the masons using them. From Middle English hot, from Old French hotte, a basket for carrying on the back, apparently from Germanic roots.

And that's a week of Words my True Love Gave Me. I think I'll alternate between weeks of these and my regular list, until I run out.
