Coach meaning of word

English[edit]

A double-decker coach

Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Middle French coche, from German Kutsche, from Hungarian kocsi. According to historians, the coach was named after the small Hungarian town of Kocs, which made a livelihood from cart building and transport between Vienna and Budapest.

The meaning «instructor/trainer» is from Oxford University slang (c. 1830) for a «tutor» who «carries» one through an exam; the athletic sense is from 1861.[1]
