What does HERDIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A small horse-drawn carriage hung low to the ground, with seats along the sides and a door at the back.
The herdic was a city cab of the nineteenth century, built close to the road so that passengers could step in without a high climb. Its entrance at the rear set it apart from ordinary carriages, which were boarded from the side. The word now turns up mostly in histories of urban transport and in older American fiction.
