You must have heard the word Automobile. Meaning of an automobile can be auto car, motor car or car. It is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting goods or passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor.
The word automobile comes from the Ancient Greek word (autos, "self") and the Latin mobilis ("movable"); therefore automobile means a vehicle that moves itself.
The alternative name car is believed to originate from the Latin word carrus or carrum ("wheeled vehicle"), or the Middle English word carre ("cart") (from Old North French). These words in turn are said to have originated from the Gaulish word karros (a Gallic Chariot).
