Word origin

The word 'trailer' originated in the 1930s in the United States. It was initially used to describe the part of a vehicle that trailed behind the main part. Over time, it evolved to also refer to a short film or preview that comes before a movie or television show. The dual meanings of 'trailer' have become widely recognized in both transportation and entertainment industries.
