origin of the word

Question

what is the origin of the word carro

Answer 1

'Carro' comes from the Latin word: carrus, and it actually came from the Gallic carros

Carro is used in Spain but it doesn't mean: car, it usually means: cart or trolley.

You can always check the RAE for this kind of questions

Answer 2

As Aita said, from the Latin carrus apparently referring to a four wheeled baggage wagon.

Answer 3

Good question, I'm going to guess it originated in Latin America since it isn't used in Spain and is a spinoff of English car, but this is just my guess.
