词源

"Middle English： probably from Hackney in East London, where horses were pastured． The term originally denoted an ordinary riding horse （as opposed to a war horse or draught horse）， especially one available for hire： hence hackney carriage　or coach, and the verb hackney　meaning ‘use （a horse） for general purposes'， later ‘make commonplace by overuse'　（see ＨＡＣＫＮＥＹＥＤ）．"
