Любители этимологии говорят (а вики это подтверждает), что в венгерской деревне  Коч в XV веке стали делать кареты с рессорами, и  благодаря Габсбургам (которые правили этими землями в составе Священной Римской Империи, а чуть позднее в XVI-м веке территориями от  Испании до Австрии) эти кареты широко распространились. Таким образом слово вошло в немецкий, английский, французский языки*.  С тренером же все это связали в XVIII веке в том смысле, что tutor везет, тащит ученика как повозка coach.


Было бы забавно, если бы название венгерской деревни Коч (Kocs) было однокоренным со словом кочевать/кочевник**.  Еще похожие слова couch vs coach, но никак не связано. В процессе оказалось, что taxi*** никак не связано с Thurn und Taxis, а происходит от слова tax (налог)***.

——————
*Czech (kočár), Slovak (koč), German (Kutsche), Dutch (koets), Catalan (cotxe), Italian (cocchio), Spanish (coche), Portuguese (coche), French (coche), Serbian (кочија (kočija)), and Polish (kocz)

**кочевать, далее от др.-русск. кочева́ти, из тюркск.: ср. уйг., чагат. köč «поездка, путешествие, переселение», кирг., уйг., чагат., тел., алт., леб., тар., караимск. köćmäk «кочевать» (словарь М. Фасмера).
**По мнению этнографа Zsigmond Bátky, родившегося в Kosci, это имя турецкого происхождения, которое носил венгр. А тюркское имя возможно просто означает "баран".
***Taxis — семья Тассо (от итальянского слова «барсук», геральдического животного семьи). Omodeo Tasso organized 32 of his relatives into the Company of Couriers (Compagnia dei Corrieri) and linked Milan with Venice and Rome.
Еще можно вспомнить поэта Торквато Тассо, но это уведет нас совсем в сторону.


***The Medieval Latin word taxa also means tax or charge. Taxi may ultimately be attributed to Ancient Greek τάξις from τάσσω meaning "to place in a certain order," as in commanding an orderly battle line, or in ordaining the payment of taxes, to the extent that ταξίδι (taxidi), meaning "journey" in Modern Greek, initially denoted an orderly military march or campaign.

Узнал сегодня новое английское выражение:

Virtue signalling is a pejorative term for the expression of a moral viewpoint with the intent of communicating good character, is "an attempt to show other people that you are a good person, for example by expressing opinions that will be acceptable to them, especially on social media." The expression is often used to imply that the virtue being signalled is exaggerated or insincere.

By the arrival of the Franks during the Migration Period (5th century), the Gaulish language had been replaced by Vulgar Latin ( "Vulgar" in this usage comes from the Latin for "common," as Vulgar Latin was the spoken language).

A lingua franca (or working language, bridge language, vehicular language) is a language systematically used to make communication possible between people not sharing a mother tongue.

The original Lingua Franca was a mixed language composed mostly (80%) of Italian with a broad vocabulary drawn from Turkish, French, Greek, Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish. It was in use throughout the eastern Mediterranean as the language of commerce and diplomacy in and around the Renaissance era. At that time, Italian speakers dominated seaborne commerce in the port cities of the Ottoman empire. Franca was the Italian word for Frankish. Its usage in the term lingua franca originated from its meaning in Arabic and Greek, dating from before the Crusades and during the Middle Ages, whereby all Western Europeans were called "Franks" or Faranji in Arabic and Phrankoi in Greek during the times of the late Eastern Roman Empire.[3] The term lingua franca is first recorded in English in 1678.
....
The main theory concerning the generation of Old French is that the Franks imposed much of their vocabulary and other mainly phonetic features on Gallo-Roman. The language of the Franks assimilated to Gallo-Roman: the extent to which Gallo-Roman was influenced by Frankish and what Frankish features were adopted have long been questions of scholarly debate.[31]
