Word origin
The word 'tram' originated from the term 'tramway,' which was used to describe the rails on which trams ran. Trams have a long history dating back to the early 19th century when horse-drawn trams were common. Over time, trams evolved to be powered by electricity or other means, becoming a popular form of public transportation in many cities around the world.
