Etymology:
Meaning:
A vehicle with runners instead of wheels, designed for travel over snow and ice.
Origin:
The word "sleigh" is originally thought to have been used to refer to a type of cart or sled with runners that could be used for transporting goods over snow-covered ground. The term was first used in English in the 14th century. By the 16th century, the word had come to refer specifically to a vehicle designed for recreational use, such as racing or taking passengers for rides.
Over time, the design of sleighs has evolved, with the addition of features such as seats, backs, and even bells and other decorations. Sleighs are now used for a variety of purposes, including winter sports, tourism, and holiday celebrations.
