A kerchief (from the French couvre-chef, "cover the head") is a triangular or square piece of cloth tied around the head or around the neck for protective or decorative purposes.
In India, a "hand kerchief" primarily refers to a napkin made of cloth, used to maintain personal hygiene.

Only the red kerchief screams out, calling our attention to the figure outside.
It is notable that she is specifically identified as the artist's wife in the title.
We know that by late 1876, Monet had fallen in love with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his dealers, who bore his son Jean-Pierre two years prior to Camille's death.
The latter spelling is the older of the two, the change from f to v being the result of a phonological rule in Old English.
While many of the words that are in this category still have their traditional plurals, some have also adopted modern plurals ending in just s, as kerchief has.
And some words of this type have lost the older plural almost completely, as has roof, whose only plural now is roofs, although you may still hear (r
