A building or structure used for storing, maintaining, or housing cars; a garage, parking facility, or vehicle depot.
Compound word combining 'car' plus 'house,' following the Germanic tradition of forming compound nouns. More common in some dialects than others; often replaced by 'garage' or 'parking garage' in modern usage.
Before 'garage' (from French) dominated, English speakers often said 'carhouse'—this word shows how English compounds lose out to imports when they sound fancier!
