secondhand automobile
Meaning & usage
secondhand automobile
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from French occasion. Since the late 20th century an anglicized pronunciation has come into use based on the mistaken assumption of this being an English loanword. The English word occasion lacks the sense "secondhand automobile" altogether, however.
