Quotes from an Imam:
"Hijab is derived from the trilateral verb ‘hajaba’, which means ‘man’a’ – to prevent or inhibit.
Allah says ((So when you petition them for a provision, petition them from behind a hijab)). [Sura Al-Ahzab: 53]
Based upon this we know that the word hijab means ‘a screen, veil, or obstruction."

it's given by God in the Old Testament.

2 3 But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and a husband the head of his wife, and God the head of Christ.

4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered brings shame upon his head.
5
But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame upon her head, for it is one and the same thing as if she had had her head shaved.
6
For if a woman does not have her head veiled, she may as well have her hair cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should wear a veil.
7
5 A man, on the other hand, should not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
8
For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;
9
nor was man created for woman, but woman for man;
10
for this reason a woman should have a sign of authority 6 on her head, because of the angels.
11
7 Woman is not independent of man or man of woman in the Lord.
