Borrowed from French coqueluche.

### Noun

coqueluche (plural coqueluches)
* (obsolete) A type of hood historically worn by those infected with whooping cough, to keep a warm head.
** 1896, Alphonse Mariette, French and English idioms and proverbs: with critical and historical notes‎, page 104:The coqueluchon or coqueluche was a kind of hood very generally worn at certain periods of the year, which seems to have given its name to the hooping-cough, because those who were attacked by that illness wore a coqueluche or monk's hood to keep their head warm.
** 1922, Francis Graham Crookshank, Influenza‎, page 73:[…] because the sick wore a coqueluche on their heads (as a part of the treatment prescribed) certainly owes its currency to Dr. Short, but he appears to have relied upon the authority of Schenkius […]

## French
### Etymology

From earlier coqueluchon (“a kind of monk's cowl or hood”), from Italian coccolucio, from Latin cucullus (“hood”). Sufferers of the 1510 influenza pandemic would wear a hood resembling the coqueluchon. The spelling and/or "whooping cough" sense may have been influenced by coq (“rooster”), from the cough evoking a rooster's crow.
