portable shade you wear like a crown, daring the sun to win.
means A wide-brimmed hat worn to shield your face and neck from the sun.
from A transparent English compound of "sun" and "hat," both ancient Germanic words: "sun" traces back through Old English "sunne" to a Proto-Germanic root shared with German "Sonne," while "hat" comes from Old English "hætt," related to "hood" and the idea of covering. Bolted together, they name exactly what they do — a hat against the sun — a kind of plainspoken compound English loves to build.
