tram

Etymology 1
Possibly from, from and , said to be ultimately from a lost  (Ingvaeonic) word, probably from , from , cognate with 🇨🇬.

The popular derivation from the surname of the English pioneer tramway builder Benjamin Outram (1764–1805) is false: the term pre-dated him.

The sense of a rail vehicle derives from tram-way, in its earliest sense meaning literally a log-covered road, but later applied to the earliest wooden railways, used for transporting coal in carts which came to be called "trams".
