Word origin
The word 'hose' has Middle English origins, derived from the Old English 'hosa' meaning 'hose, leg covering'. Over time, the word evolved to refer to both a flexible tube for conveying water and a type of clothing worn on the legs. The verb form of 'hose' meaning 'to critique severely' is a more recent slang usage, likely originating from the idea of 'hosing someone down' with criticism. The word has been in use for centuries and continues to be a common part of the English language.
