The word "coach" is one of the few English words borrowed from the Hungarian language? John Ayto's Dictionary of Word Origins states that the original form in Hungarian was kocsi szeker, "cart from Kocs." Kocs was a village between Budapest and Györ where carriages and carts were made. The word kocsi, an adjective meaning "of Kocs," came to mean a horse-drawn carriage. It entered French (coche) and German (kutsche), then showed up in English as "coach" in the 16th century.

The modern sense of "instructor" or "trainer" comes from 19th-century British university slang. Students dubbed private tutors "coaches," playing on the image of a tutor "conveying" a student through an exam as if he were riding in a carriage.
