How did the car get its name?

Is it short for "carriage"? Or, "cart"? Or, something entirely different?

Car is short for Carriage. <-----<<<EDIT: BOY! Was I __WRONG__ there!!! :(

Wiki says this:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/car#Etymology

I found this, also:

>>>96/09/09 (Monday) Vehicles (5388)

A number of short words now commonly used to denote ordinary vehicles are actually shortened forms of longer words. "Plane", of course, is simply a shortened form of "airplane" and "bus" is a shortened form of "omnibus". "Van" is derived from "caravan" and "cab" comes from "cabriolet", which is a new word for me. According to the dictionary, it is "a two-wheeled, one-horse carriage with two seats and a folding top". "Taxi" is a shortened form of "taxicab", an automobile that carries passengers for a fare, usually calculated by a taximeter. And what do you suppose is the origin of the word "car". No, it does not come from "carriage" but from a Latin word for "chariot", which was a horse drawn, two-wheeled cart, used in ancient times for war, racing or parades.<<<..........

....Which is from:

And this:

>>>car
1301, "wheeled vehicle," from Norm.-Fr. carre, from L. carrum, carrus (pl. carra), orig. "two-wheeled Celtic war chariot," from Gaul. karros, from PIE *krsos, from base *kers- "to run." Extension to "automobile" is 1896. Car-sick first recorded 1908, on model of sea sick. U.S. carport is from 1939. Car bomb first 1972, in reference to Northern Ireland. Car pool is 1942 (n.), 1962 (v.). <<<.......

According to THIS site:.....

.....there are MANY origins of the word "Car".
