From French 'carriole,' a diminutive of 'carro' (cart). In Canada and Scandinavia, the cariole evolved into a narrow dog-sled or horse-drawn sleigh for one passenger, iconic in 19th-century winter travel. In Italy it was a two-wheeled peasant cart. The word captures the charm of pre-industrial personal transport.
