vehicle: [17] A vehicle is etymologically something that ‘carries’. The word comes via French véhicule from Latin vehiculum, a derivative of vehere ‘carry’. This also gave English convex, inveigh, vector [18] (etymologically a ‘carrier’), and vex [15], and it came ultimately from a prehistoric Indo- European base *wegh-, ancestor also of English waggon, way, weigh, etc.
