Etymology of HOSES
The word "hoses" originated from the Middle English word "hose", which evolved from the Old English words "hosa" or "hosu". The Old English words were themselves borrowed from the Old High German word "hosa". The ultimate origin of "hose" is uncertain, but it is believed to have traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*husōną", meaning "leg covering" or "leggings". These words might have been derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*ḱews-", which means "to cover", "to hide". Over time, the term "hose" has come to refer to specific types of flexible tubing or pipes used for various purposes, such as garden hoses or firefighting hoses.
