Origin

Middle English: from Old Norse kartr, probably influenced by Anglo-Norman French and Old Northern French carete, diminutive of carre (see car).

Our word cart, deriving from Old Norse kartr and related to car, was originally used to talk about a carriage of any kind, even a chariot, rather than the humble vehicle we are familiar with. If you put the cart before the horse, an expression first recorded in the early 16th century, you are doing things in the wrong order. A medieval version was set the oxen before the yoke.
