How it's used
Refers specifically to a piece of cloth worn around the head, often associated with traditional ethnic minority attire or simple functional use. While it can describe a decorative scarf, it is distinct from a fashion accessory like a silk scarf worn around the neck. It carries a slightly more traditional or rustic connotation compared to modern fashion terms.
