I would like your expert opinions on what the "official" difference
is between trousers and leggings or hose. Is it just that trousers
aren't as fitted in the legs? Or are trousers one piece while
leggings are two?

Leggings (or hose) are just that, individually fastened coverings for
the legs. Trousers are one garment that covers both legs and the
fork and up, historically, to the waist. How fitted the leg coverings
are is a matter of fashion.
