Etymology
The term 'overhauler' originated from the verb 'overhaul', which first appeared in the mid-19th century. The prefix 'over-' suggests a thorough or comprehensive action, while 'haul' originally referred to the act of pulling or dragging. Over time, the term evolved to specifically describe individuals or businesses involved in the extensive renovation or repair of vehicles, especially larger ones like trucks or buses.
