Places where taxi cabs wait for passengers, usually at designated locations like train stations or street corners.
Compound of 'cab' (from cabriolet) plus 'stands' (places where vehicles wait). 'Stand' comes from Old English standan (to stand).
Cabstands are pure Victorian urban innovation—designated waiting zones where drivers lined up for fares created the first 'taxi queues' before anyone imagined ride-sharing apps!
