Where did the name Hose Bib origenate from?

The term "hose bib" likely originated from the combination of "hose," which refers to a flexible tube used for conveying water, and "bib," which typically refers to a piece of clothing worn to protect the front of the body. Together, "hose bib" describes the outdoor water faucet with a threaded spout used to connect a garden hose for watering purposes.
