stocking Dalam Bahasa Indonesia

Word: Stocking

Definition: A stocking is a close-fitting elastic garment that covers the foot and part of the leg, typically made from knitted or woven material. Stockings are usually worn by women and can range from knee-length to thigh-high, often secured with garters or elastic bands at the top.

Usage: Stockings can be worn for various reasons, including fashion, comfort, or warmth. They are also commonly worn with dresses or skirts and can be found in various styles, colors, and patterns. For example, “She wore a pair of black stockings to the party.”

Etymology: The term “stocking” derives from the Middle English word “stockin,” which is a diminutive of “stock,” referring to a leg or stocking-like covering. The word has its roots in Old English “stocc,” meaning “tree trunk” or “post,” which can suggest the shape of the leg.

Pronunciation: /ˈstɒk.ɪŋ/

Synonyms:

Hose
Legwear
Pantyhose
Tights

Antonyms:

Barefoot (implying without stockings)
Shoes (as they cover the foot without leg coverage)

Additional Notes: Stockings have a historical significance, originally worn by both men and women. They have evolved over time, particularly in women’s fashion, where they are now often seen as a staple accessory to enhance the overall appearance of an outfit. Modern variations include sheer, opaque, and patterned designs.
