* As an English, Scottish, and German surname, from the noun hose (“leggings”). * Also as a German surname, from the Czech personal name Hos, shortened from Johannes, or from host (“guest”), see Hosack. * Also as an English surname, from Old English hās, side form of hǣse (“underwood”), ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *haistr (“young tree”). * Also as an English surname, variant of Howes. * Also as an English surname, shortened from Hussey.

From Middle English hose (“leggings, hose”), from Old English hose, hosa (“hose, leggings”), from Proto-West Germanic *hosā, from Proto-Germanic *husǭ (“coverings, leggings, trousers”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to cover”). Cognate with West Frisian hoas (“hose”), Dutch hoos (“stocking, water-hose”), German Hose (“trousers”); also, Tocharian A kać (“skin”), Russian кишка́ (kišká, “gut”), Ancient Greek κύστις (kústis, “bladder”), Sanskrit कोष्ठ (koṣṭha, “intestine”). More at sky. The clothing senses were the original meaning, from which is derived the sense of a tube for fluids.
