An Italian enclosed carriage or automobile; a horse-drawn carriage used for transportation.
From Italian 'carrozza,' which evolved from Latin 'carrus' (chariot/wagon). This word represents the Italian evolution of the same root that gave us English 'car,' 'carriage,' and 'carousel.' It was widely used in Italy for vehicles.
'Carrozza' is the same root that gives us our modern word 'car'—it shows how different languages evolved the same Latin word differently. In Italian, it kept its full form; in English, we shortened it to three letters!
