An early form of carriage or coach; a large wheeled vehicle used for transport or ceremony.
Variant or related form to 'caroche' and 'caroch.' Likely derived from Romance languages (French 'carrosse,' Italian 'carrozza'), ultimately from Latin 'carrus' (cart).
Caroaches were status symbols—large, ornate coaches pulled by multiple horses. The word shows how 'car' ultimately comes from the same root as 'chariot.' We've gone from 'carrus' to 'carriage' to 'car' in just a few centuries!
