fiacre
- /fɪˈɑːkɹə/ UK
Where it comes from
Borrowed from French fiacre. From Hôtel de Saint Fiacre, a tavern in Paris operating a horse-carriage service from the 1640s, itself named after the Irish Saint Fiacre (c. 600–670 CE), perhaps from Irish fiach (“raven”).
noun fiacres
- A small horse-drawn carriage for hire; a hackney carriage. On the road to Choissi, a fiacre, or hackney-coach, stopped, and out came five or six men, armed with musquets, who took post, each behind a separate tree.
