A sedan is a type of car with four doors and a separate enclosed trunk for luggage.
From “sedan chair,” a covered seat carried by people, from Italian “sedia” meaning “chair,” from Latin “sedes” meaning “seat.” The car name borrowed the idea of a comfortable enclosed seat.
Before sedans were cars, they were human-powered boxes you sat in while others carried you. The modern sedan keeps the same basic promise: sit comfortably while something else does the work.
