HACKNEY (from Fr. haquenee, Lat. equus, an ambling horse or mare, especially for ladies to ride; the English " hack " is simply an abbreviation)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 794 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HACKNEY (from Fr. haquenee, Lat. equus, an ambling horse or mare, especially for ladies to ride; the English " hack " is simply an abbreviation) , originally a
riding
 -
horse
 . At the present day, however, the hackney (as opposed to a thorough-bred) is bred for
driving
  as well as
riding
  (see
HORSE
 : Breeds). From the hiring-out of hackneys, the word came to be associated with employment for hire (so " a hack," as a
general
 
term
  for " drudge "), especially in
combination
 , e.g. hackney-chair, hackney-coach, hackney-
boat
 . The hackney-coach, a coach with four wheels and two horses, was a form of hired public
conveyance
  (see
CARRIAGE
 ).
