The notion of garage has several uses recognized by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). The first meaning mentioned by the RAE refers to the person who is dedicated to driving a car, usually horse-drawn.
In this meaning, we can speak of a coachman (if it is a man) or a coachman (in the case of a woman). It should be remembered that car comes from the Hungarian word kocsi (which translates as "carriage" ) and refers precisely to an animal-drawn carriage or an automobile .
Generally, if a coachman or coachman is referred to as someone who drives a car, the vehicle in question is a horse- drawn carriage that has a box to transport two or more passengers.
Garage to store cars
The concept of a garage is usually used to name the space where cars are locked and stored . In this context it is important to remember the expression garage door , which indicates the door through which carriages enter and leave.
Typically, the garage door is a porch that provides access to a building . Originally, the garage door was designed to allow the passage of a cart with its horse, although it is currently used for the entry or exit of a motor vehicle.
Returning to the idea of the garage itself, today it is used to name the parking lot , parking lot , garage or parking lot . In a garage, cars, trucks and other vehicles are left for an indefinite period of time, in a permitted place to park or park, putting them under protection.
Protected vehicles
It is possible to find garages in apartment buildings (apartments) and in houses. In addition, hotels and restaurants, among other establishments, can make parking spaces available to their clients.
It should be noted that garage usually refers specifically to a closed place ; that is, roofed. On the other hand, a parking lot can be an outdoor playground. In this way, the difference is that, in a garage, cars are protected from inclement weather.
Garage and pigs
Other uses of garage or coachman are less frequent and may even attract attention in some countries . The swineherd is called a coachman, for example.
A swineherd or swineherd is a person who has the function of guarding the pigs (pigs or pigs). The etymology of the term takes us to the late Latin porcarius . Porquera, on the other hand, is the place on a mountain where wild boars live.
Pigs , meanwhile, are mammalian animals with short legs, a solid body, a flattened snout and a large head. They are usually raised to take advantage of their meat .
Ease of cooking
The RAE , finally, indicates that coachman or garage can be used as adjectives to describe food that is easily cooked . The notion comes from cocho , in turn derived from the verb cocer .
Cooking food involves subjecting it to heat so that it stops being raw and, in this way, becomes edible. Fire, steam or boiling modify the properties of food, eliminating bacteria and toxins, for example.
