Etymology
The term 'motorcade' is a portmanteau of the words 'motor' and 'cade', with 'cade' stemming from the French word 'cavalcade', which refers to a formal procession of people on horseback. The evolution of the term began in the early 20th century, as automobiles became prevalent in public life. As the use of cars for important personalities increased, so did the need for organized groups of vehicles to ensure safe passage for these individuals. The first recorded usage of 'motorcade' in American English dates back to the 1920s, during which time it was primarily associated with the protection of high-profile figures. Over the years, motorcades have become synonymous with executive security and organized travel in political, celebrity, and business contexts.
