The term "hansom cab" originates from the name of its inventor, Joseph Hansom, who designed the vehicle in 1834. The hansom cab is a two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, notable for its speed and maneuverability, making it popular in urban areas. Its design allowed for a driver in the front and passengers seated in the back, providing a more comfortable ride compared to earlier carriages. The term has since become synonymous with this iconic mode of transportation from the 19th century.
