WHAT DOES CARRIAGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

carriage

Carriage

A carriage is a wheeled vehicle for people, usually horse-drawn; litters and sedan chairs are excluded, since they are wheelless vehicles. The carriage is especially designed for private passenger use and for comfort or elegance, though some are also used to transport goods. It may be light, smart and fast or heavy, large and comfortable. Carriages normally have suspension using leaf springs, elliptical springs or leather strapping. A public passenger vehicle would not usually be called a carriage – terms for such include stagecoach, charabanc and omnibus. Working vehicles such as the wagon and cart share important parts of the history of the carriage, as is the fast chariot.

Definition of carriage in the English dictionary

The first definition of carriage in the dictionary is a railway coach for passengers. Other definition of carriage is the manner in which a person holds and moves his head and body; bearing. Carriage is also a four-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle for persons.
