Car

Car (pronounced: /kɑːr/), also known as an automobile (pronounced: /ˌɔːtəˈmoʊbiːl/), is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. The term "car" is believed to originate from the Latin word carrus or carrum which means "wheeled vehicle", or the Old North French word carre meaning "two-wheel cart".
