barouche|bəˈruːʃ|
[ad. dial. Ger. barutsche (also birutsche), ad. Sp. barrocho or It. baroccio, properly biroccio ‘chariot,’ orig. ‘two-wheeled car,’ f. L. birotus ‘two-wheeled,’ perhaps assimilated in its ending to carroccio ‘chariot’ (Diez). The Eng. barouche assumes, in spelling and pronunciation, a French form, but no such word exists in F. (exc. as taken from Eng.)]
a. A four-wheeled carriage with a half-head behind which can be raised or let down at pleasure, having a seat in front for the driver, and seats inside for two couples to sit facing each other.
