Etymology

From Middle Dutch hovesch, and thus the same word as hoofs (courtly). Originally a western variant form.

For the semantic and phonetic development of this word compare also German hübsch (pretty) and Central Franconian höösch (careful, slow). Semantically compare the also related German höflich (polite) as well as French courtois (courtly, polite).
