Jodhpurs are trousers made for riding a horse. They are cut around the hips, so you can sit in the saddle, but they fit close from the knee down, so they do not flap against the horse. Riders have worn this cut for a little more than a hundred years. The name comes from Jodhpur, a city and old state in the north-west of India. The city was founded in 1459 by a ruler called Rao Jodha and named after him; English took the trousers' name from that place (first as jodhpur breeches, 1899; jodhpurs from 1913). You almost always say the word in the plural, like trousers or jeans: a pair of jodhpurs, not a jodhpur. Some people now use it more loosely for any riding trousers, even ones that are not cut close from the knee. It is a horsey, rather special word — you will not hear it much unless you are around stables or riding clothes.
