A four-wheeled carriage with a folding hood, seats for four people facing each other, and often driven by a coachman.
From German Barutsche, derived from Italian baroccio (wagon), ultimately from Latin barra (bar). This luxury carriage became fashionable in 18th-century Europe.
A barouche was basically the Mercedes-Benz of the 1800s—only wealthy people could afford them, and owning one publicly announced your social status to everyone who saw you ride past.
