What does CABMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A man who drives a cab, especially a horse-drawn hackney carriage.
In nineteenth-century cities the cabman sat high on his box, steering a hackney carriage for hire through crowded streets. He appears constantly in novels of that time, grumbling about fares and weather. Modern speech has replaced the word with taxi driver or cabbie, so cabman now mainly signals a historical setting.
