The word "coach" traces back to the 16th century, derived from the Hungarian town Kocs, known for manufacturing high-quality carriages. These carriages, called kocsi szekér ("wagon from Kocs"), were widely adopted across Europe, and the term evolved into "coach" in English. By the 19th century, "coach" metaphorically extended to mean a "trainer" or "instructor," likening the guidance of a mentor to the transport provided by a carriage.
