An automobile or motor car is a wheeled
motor vehicle for transporting passengers; which also carries its own engine or
motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run
primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have
four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people
rather than goods. However, the term is far from precise because there are many
types of vehicles that do similar tasks.
Automobile comes via the French language, from the Greek language by combining
auto [self] with mobilis [moving]; meaning a vehicle that moves itself, rather
than being pulled or pushed by a separate animal or another vehicle. The
alternative name car is believed to originate from the Latin word carrus or
carrum [wheeled vehicle], or the Middle English word carre [cart] (from Old
North French), and karros; a Gallic wagon.
