Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HOSE (a word common to many Teutonic languages; cf. Dutch, hoes, stocking, Ger. Hose, breeches, tights; the ultimate origin is unknown) , the name of an article of dress,
used as a covering for the leg and foot. The word has been used for various forms of a
long
  stocking covering both the foot and leg (see HOSIERY), and this is the usual
modern
  sense. But it also formerly meant a
kind
  of gaiter covering the leg from the knee to the ankle only, of the
long
  tight covering for the whole of the
lower
  limbs, and later of the short puffed or slashed breeches worn with the doubletat this period, from the early
part
  of the 16th
century
  onwards, comes the distinction between the "
hose
  " or " trunk
hose
  " and the stocking (see COSTUME). The
term
  is applied to certain objects resembling such a covering, as in its application to flexible
rubber
  or canvas piping used for conveying water (see HosEPn'E), and in botany, to the " sheath " covering, e.g. the ear of corn. The
term
  " hose-inhose " is thus used in botany for a flower in which the corolla has become doubled, as though a second were inserted in the
throat
  of the first; it occurs sometimes in the primrose.
