This word comes from Hungary, from the Hungarian word:Kocsi. Kocs is a small village in Hungary, and the -i at the end of the word means: From Kocs. In this small village they developed a new type of horse-drawn carts in the 15th century that shookless on the rugged roads, therefore it became a very popular vehicle all around Europe. This cart was called in Hungary: "kocsi szekér" (means: a cart from Kocs). Because it was a very popular carriage all around Europe, the first part of its name (kocsi) was taken to many European language. The English "coach" was transformed from the french form ("coche" ) of the word. Source: http:/www.horsedrawn-carriages.com
