The dictionary just happens to be a BIG project the Grimm brothers worked on.
It is still the standard for German etymology. No connection to the fairy
tales.
I am not sure there is a connection between the line/lein endings...I just
thought there might be because someone said that it "was brought back" (from
Hungary) by the Germans.... Sometimes you can actually find the connection
between the languages because of the similartity. Kind of like verdingale and
farthingale.....
Here is what my buddy Katherine had to say from the German list:
(If you would like the line drawings from the dictionary, I am sure Katherine
would oblige)
"Not German, French!
Hongreline (s.f.) La hongreline fut une sorte de surtout porté au début du
XVIIe siécle par-dessus le pourpoint. Elle était à peu près ajustée;
d'abord les manches, non cousues aux entournures, y étaient liées par des
aiguillettes, puis elles firent corps avec le vêtement d'hiver, bordé et
même doublé de fourrure. Les femmes portérent jusque sous Louis XIV, des
hongrelines à manches et à basques, mais non fourrées."
[Hongreline (feminine) The hongreline was a sort of overdress worn at the
beginning of the 17th century over the pourpoint. It was a little
tailored, mostly in the sleeves, which were not sewn into the armholes,
and were tied in with aglets, added to the body of the garment for winter
wear, bordered or even lined with fur. Women wore this into the reign of
Louis XIV, with sleeves and skirts, but not furred.] (translation mine)

The Dictionary has some line drawings that will help the person with the
query. The garment is similar to:

The red garments here are also similar:
