Adam,

show'-bel;

from an unused root mean. to flow; a lady's train (as trailing after her):--leg.

obviously context is everything. You cannot uncover her skirt as her skirt IS a covering...and what does it traditionally cover? The leg. What also trails after a woman as she walks...a leg. One leg forward, one leg trailing. Thus in this context, it would be a leg.
