A manufacturer or company that designs and produces automobiles.
From 'car' (from Latin 'carra') plus 'maker' (from Old English 'macian,' meaning to construct). Compound that emerged in the early 20th century with automobile manufacturing growth.
The carmaker industry transformed from individual craftsmen building cars to massive corporations—Ford's assembly line in 1913 made carmakers into the largest manufacturers in the world!
