Word origin
The word 'cab' has a long history, dating back to the 1600s. It originally referred to a horse-drawn carriage for hire. The term evolved to include motorized vehicles for hire with drivers, especially in urban areas. The word 'cab' is believed to be derived from the French word 'cabriolet', which was a type of carriage. Over time, 'cab' became synonymous with taxis and the compartments of trucks where drivers sit.
