Definition
A limousine is a long, comfortable, and often fancy car, usually driven by a chauffeur and used for special occasions or by important people. It often has extra seats and special features inside.
Etymology
The word comes from French “limousine,” originally referring to a type of cloak or hood worn in the Limousin region of France. Early cars with covered passenger compartments reminded people of this hood, and the name stuck.
Kelly Says
The first “limousines” weren’t about being super long; they were about having a covered space that separated the passengers from the driver. So your mental picture of a stretch limo is actually a modern exaggeration of a simple hooded carriage idea.
