Which term do British people use to identify a car's hood?
Answer Bonnet
While Americans refer to the door covering the engine as a hood, British English speakers call the same auto part a bonnet. Both words have their origin in fashion, as they're terms for a piece of cloth that covers the top of the head, just like the hood provides a cover for the car's delicate mechanics.
