The occupation or practice of operating a taxi cab as a driver.
Compound word from 'cab' (short for cabriolet, a light two-wheeled carriage) plus 'driving.' The cab itself comes from French cabriolet (from Latin cabre, to leap).
Cabs were named for how those early two-wheeled carriages bounced and pranced down streets—'cabriolet' literally means 'to leap'—so you're literally riding in a 'leaping vehicle'!
