Robin Hood was a fictional character that began in the 1200's as an oral poem. Through the years the story has changed and characters added to it. In fact, the story is still evolving because of movies and new additions of characters. The term "hood" in the 1200's was used as a name to call people who robbed others. It is like our saying " gang member." This is used to describe a person who does bad things , and this is how "hood" was used.
