Etymology
From leg + -ing.
Meanings
- A covering, usually of leather, worn from knee to ankle.
- Stretchy tight-fitting pants often worn by women or for exercise.
-
One of the legs of a pair of trousers.

-
The process of putting a series of three or more options strikes into the stock market.
As a practical matter, you cannot put on these positions simultaneously at reasonable prices. In order to achieve these positions at a reasonable risk/reward profile, you must put the positions in a series of separate trades. This process is called legging.
