I'm assuming you're leaving aside Tony's pet hate about "horn" meaning
more or less any wind instrument.

Early basset horns were curved - like horns. I think (and no doubt I'll
be corrected if I'm wrong) that this is one possible explanation.

The Cor Anglais is much the same......

I'm going to betray my ignorance, but why is a basset horn a "horn", but
a clarinet is not?
