WAGON


Meaning of WAGON in English

n.

Four-wheeled vehicle designed to be drawn by draft animals.

Wagons have been used from the 1st century BC; early examples used spoked wheels with metal rims, pivoted front axles, and linchpins to secure the wheels. Ninth-century improvements in suspension made the wagon preferable to the two-wheeled cart , especially for carrying freight and agricultural produce.
