| Chaps a cowboy wears: derived from "chaparral" the misused word that
describes the wild brush of the semi desert areas the cowboys work
in.
Chap as a (young) person: it is common to refer to somebody young as
being wet behind the ears. If you go out whilst wet behind the ears
you will become chapped... hence young people are chapped, and
collectively we have chaps. (at least that was the explanation my
Commanding Officer once gave me, and I believed him implicitly :-)

| re .4: I forgot the ':-)'
Actually 'chap' is derived from the middle english word 'chapman', which
is in turn derived from 'ceapman': 'ceap' meaning 'trade', the word refers
to an [itinerant or market] trader. Since such traders in the middle ages
were frequently young, and known for their cheeky banter, the word has come
to apply to a young, and frequently cheeky, man.

| I can speak to the need for protection from chapparral,
especially California manzanita. I one speared myself
with a piece which had to be extracted surgically. Horses
also get cut by it, which is why we keep to the trails.
