Relating to or characteristic of an araba (a type of carriage), or made in the style of Ottoman carriages.
From Turkish 'araba' + the English adjective-forming suffix '-an.' This follows the English pattern of creating adjectives from nouns by adding '-an' or '-ian'.
This word barely survives in English, found mostly in antique catalogs and museum descriptions of Ottoman-era furniture and vehicles. It reminds us how specific historical objects eventually fade from living language when they're no longer part of daily life.
