Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia

1. n. A two-wheeled car or vehicle, used in various forms by the ancients in war, in processions, and for racing, as well as in social and private life. The Roman chariot was called a biga, a triga, or a quadriga, according as it was drawn by two, three, or four horses, all abreast. The triumphal chariot was a quadriga; it was very richly ornamented, and sometimes made of ivory. Greek and Roman chariots for war and racing were usually closed in front and open behind, and without seats. The war-chariots of the ancient Persians and Britons were armed with weapons like scythe-blades or sickles projecting from the hubs, and are hence called seythe-chariots.
2. n. In modern times: A somewhat indefinite name for a more or less stately four-wheeled carriage.
3. n. A pleasure-carriage, of different forms.
4. To convey in a chariot.
5. To ride in a chariot.
