Galeche

/ɡəˈlɛʃ/ noun

Definition

A light, low carriage with two or four wheels, originally used in Central Europe.

Etymology

From Czech 'galáže' or related Slavic words referring to a small carriage. The term traveled westward through trade routes, adapting to different European languages as the vehicle became popular.

Kelly Says

This humble carriage name was used across Eastern Europe for centuries, and the word hopped languages just like traveling merchants hopped between towns—it's linguistic hitchhiking!
