Two unrelated English loanwords spelled the same in katakana: "hood" and "food." Context — usually whether the word stands alone or appears in a compound — makes the sense clear.
SENSE 1 (hood):
- フードをかぶる: to pull up a hood
- フード付き: hooded (e.g. フード付きのパーカー)
- フードを外す: to push the hood back / take the hood off
SENSE 2 (food, compound use):
- ファストフード: fast food
- ペットフード: pet food
- ベビーフード: baby food
- ドッグフード: dog food
- フードコート: food court
Used by itself, フード is almost always taken to mean "hood." When the meaning is "food," speakers normally use 食べ物 or 食品 instead.
