A large, ornate horse-drawn carriage, especially one used by nobility in European courts.
From French carrosse, derived from Italian carozza, ultimately from Vulgar Latin carrus (cart, wagon). The word traveled through trade routes as luxury vehicles became status symbols.
The 'carosse' was the luxury SUV of the 1600s—so expensive and complicated that it inspired the verb 'to carouse' because celebrations happened when someone got one!
