driving
Driving most often refers to the controlled operation and movement of a motorized vehicle, such as a car, truck, or bus.
== Etymology ==
The origin of the term ''driver'', as recorded from the 15th century, refers to the occupation of driving working animals, especially pack horses or draft horses. The verb ' ''to drive'' ' in origin means "to force to move, to impel by physical force". It is first recorded of electric railway drivers in 1889 and of a ''motor-car driver'' in 1896. Early alternatives were ''motorneer'',〔Century Dictionary; (1891)〕 ''motor-man'', ''motor-driver'' or ''motorist''. French favors "''conducteur''" (the English equivalent, "''conductor''", being used —from the 1830s— not of the driver but of the person in charge of passengers and collecting fares), while German influenced areas adopted ''Fahrer'' (used of coach-drivers in the 18th century, but shortened about 1900 from the compound ''Kraftwagenfahrer''), and the verbs ''führen, lenken, steuern'' —all with a meaning "steer, guide, navigate"— translating to ''conduire''.
