I live in Taiwan, we use Chinese,
so it looks like 褲襪,
褲 means pants and 襪 is hose, sock...
combine them together,
it become pants-like hose.

Strumpfhose is also a splitt word

Strumpf = socks

Yes I am German. I know that it is a funny word...

By the way in the Netherlands pantyhose are called "panty" or "kousenbroek", which is the same splitword as used in Germany
If you take "kousen" away from the word "broek" it means stockings.

In Czech Republic we call pantyhose: "punčochové kalhoty", "punčocháče" or "silonky"
"punčochové kalhoty" is actually translation to the letter (what a coincidence ) of "panty hose"
"punčocháče" is a shorter and more often used form of the name.
"silonky" is very common and also my favourite term
And what do you think?

silonky sounds nice :-)

Hi everyone in Greece pantyhose is "καλσόν".

in belgium we say 'nylons', 'nylon kousen' or 'panties'

in italy we use the frech word "collant"
