latin

The word is thought to be of unknown origin, in the middle ages a similar word was used for the 'beam or a shaft of a barrow or a barrow or truck body' Used in Scottish coal mines and also in the Flemish language. There is also an old German word 'traam' The common factor is that these things ran on rails and this word idea transferred to Tramcar in the US and Canadian language. The related Latin word trans/trama means across and this word entered the French language as 'trame' However, the nearest words describing a form of public transport comes from Europe as a barrow or truck body for carrying loads from mines
