n.

“body of a ship,” 1550s, perhaps from hull (n.1) on fancied resemblance of ship keels to open peapods (cf. latin carina “keel of a ship,” originally “sh-ll of a nut;” greek phaselus “light p-ssenger ship, yacht,” literally “bean pod;” french coque “hull of a ship; sh-ll of a walnut or egg”). alternative etymology is from middle english hoole “ship’s keel” (mid-15c.), from the same source as hold (n.).

“to remove the husk of,” early 15c., from hull (n.1). related: hulled, which can mean both “having a particular kind of hull” and “stripped of the hull.”
