Etymology
'coach' originates from Hungarian, specifically the word 'kocsi,' where 'kocsi' meant 'carriage.'
'kocsi' transformed into the French word 'coche,' and eventually became the modern English word 'coach' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'a carriage for travel,' but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'trainer' and 'bus.'
