烏帽子 is the general term for the black-lacquered court cap; 立烏帽子 specifically refers to the tall, upright style, as opposed to other shapes like 折烏帽子 (folded eboshi).
Standard kanji spelling; the reading たてえぼし is the most common modern pronunciation.
Alternate historical reading; less common today.
Compound of 立 (tate, 'standing, upright') and 烏帽子 (eboshi, 'court cap'). The reading たてえぼし reflects a common euphonic change from たちえぼし.
