Etymology

From 'en-' + 'coach' (a carriage). Coach itself comes from Kocs, Hungary, where a type of carriage was made. This word appeared in the 16th-17th centuries.

Kelly Says

Before cars existed, 'encoach' was how wealthy people described the luxurious experience of riding in a fine carriage—it's the fancy cousin of 'carpool,' but for the 1600s!
