Etymology
Jodhpurs comes from the Indian city Jodhpur, where riders wore a special kind of trousers that were wide at the hips and tight from the knee to the ankle. A helpful way to remember it is to think of 'pants from Jodhpur' made for horse riding, so jodhpurs today means those riding trousers with a flared hip and a snug lower leg.
