Etymology of CAB FARE

The word "cab" is a shortened form of "cabriolet", which originally referred to a light, two-wheeled carriage with a folding hood or canopy. "Fare", on the other hand, comes from the Old English word "fær", meaning "journey" or "passage".

The combination of these two terms, "cab fare", first appeared in the 19th century during the rise of horse-drawn cabs or carriages for public transportation. It referred to the amount of money a passenger had to pay for a journey in a cab. Over time, with the advent of motorized taxis, the term "cab fare" extended to mean the cost of a ride in any type of taxi or cab.
