wagon

== English == === Alternative forms === waggon (dated) === Etymology === Borrowed from Middle Dutch wagen, from Old Dutch *wagan, from Proto-West Germanic *wagn, from Proto-Germanic *wagnaz (“wagon”), from Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (“to transport”). Generally displaced native cognate wain, from Old English wæġn, of which it is a doublet. Related also to way, weigh. Sense 8 (“woman of loose morals; obnoxious woman”) is probably a derogatory and jocular reference to a woman being “ridden”, that is, mounted for the purpose of sexual intercourse. The verb is derived from the noun. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation, General American) IPA(key): /ˈwæɡən/, [ˈwæɡən] ~ [ˈwæɡn̩] (Standard Southern British, Northern England, Scotland, Wales) IPA(key): /ˈwaɡən/, [ˈwaɡən] ~ [ˈwaɡn̩] (Australian, bad-lad split) IPA(key): /ˈwæːɡən/, [ˈwæːɡən] ~ [ˈwæːɡn̩] (New Zealand) IPA(key): /ˈwɛɡən/, [ˈwɛɡən] ~ [ˈwɛɡn̩] (æ-raising before /ɡ/) (Upper Midwestern US, Northwestern US, Canada) IPA(key): /ˈweɪɡən/, [ˈweɪ̯ɡən] ~ [ˈweɪ̯ɡn̩] Rhymes: -æɡən Hyphenation: wag‧on === Noun === wagon (plural wagons) A heavier four-wheeled (normally horse-drawn) vehicle designed to carry goods (or sometimes people).
