In the olden days, Wifi based sharing wasn’t the way you accessed the internet from your phone. You more commonly used a USB cable. Hence your phone was tethered to PC/laptop, a wireless device tied down to something more anchored to the ground.

Hotspot specifically refers to the WiFi version of sharing your internet, which has largely won the popularity contest for cellular data sharing.
