masonic origin?

[edit]

The word "hoodwinking" means deceiving or playing a trick. Where does this term come from? In Freemasonry "hoodwink" is the name of the blindfold used in masonic rituals. Did it originally refer a cloth hood over the head to cover the eyes, or was it derived from the term "brotherhood"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.223.41.92 (talk) 21:12, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
