Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A garment covering the leg: A tight-fitting piece of clothing, typically made of a stretchy material like nylon or spandex, designed to cover the leg from the knee to the ankle. It is worn for warmth, fashion, or as part of a uniform or costume.
Usage
  • Noun: The word "leging" is used to refer to a single garment for one leg. The plural form "leggings" is far more common and refers to the pair of garments worn together.
    • She pulled on a warm leging before putting on her boots.
    • Yoga pants and leggings are popular for casual wear.
Advanced Usage
  • The term "leging" is considered an archaic or less common singular form. In modern English, "legging" (singular) and "leggings" (plural) are the standard terms, though "leggings" is often used for both singular and plural contexts in everyday speech (e.g., "This leggings is comfortable").
Variants and Related Words
  • Leggings (n, plural): The standard modern term for the garment. It is treated as a plural noun but often refers to a single item of clothing.
    • She bought new leggings for her workout.
  • Leg warmer (n): A similar garment, but typically footless and sometimes shorter, intended to keep the leg warm.
  • Tights (n, plural): A close-fitting garment covering the body from the waist to the toes, often made of a thinner material.
Synonyms
  • Tights (Note: "Tights" usually cover the foot and are often sheer, while leggings are typically footless and opaque.)
  • Hose (archaic or formal for leg coverings)
Notes on Meaning
  • The primary meaning is a leg-covering garment. Historically, "legging" could refer to a gaiter or other protective leg covering, but the modern usage almost exclusively refers to the tight-fitting, stretchy garment. The singular form "leging" is rarely used in contemporary English.
Noun
  1. a garment covering the leg (usually extending from the knee to the ankle)
