You have such fine answers!!!

The hip of the roof comes from the ridge (the main spine along the top) out to the edge.  Here are two examples, each having 3 visible hips.

Roof hips 1

Roof hips 2

Gable ends lean in on hip roofs. They sometimes need to be replaced after 60 years or so!

The preferred roof line over a gable-end roof since a hip roof has a reduced chance of blow-out during a hurricane

a hip is a style of roof.... there are four sides rather that two gable ends.... there is also less head room in the attic space..... but it's a stately look....
