Etymology[edit]

goose +‎ -hood

Noun[edit]

goosehood (uncountable)

  1. The quality of being a goose.
    • 1988, David Quammen, The Flight of the Iguana:
      This may be, in fact, another reason why geese migrate north in summer: Under the long northern hours of daylight, they can spend more time feeding. And all the nutritional hardships of goosehood affect not just survival, but also procreation.
