le
/kotʃ/
Translation
coach, trainer (sports or personal)
Word origin
Borrowed from English coach in its sporting sense during the twentieth century. The English word came from French coche ('carriage'), which came in turn from Hungarian kocsi, named after the village of Kocs where the vehicle was built. English students called a tutor a 'coach' because he carried you through your exams, and French then borrowed that figurative sense straight back.
