post + boy

Noun

postboy (plural postboys)

  1. (historical) A male postilion.
    • 2008 January 10, David Colman, “Ditching the Suit, the Vest Struts Its Stuff”, in New York Times:
      It is fitting that the vest should convey athleticism, since it was born as a warm but not constraining garment for postboys on horseback in 19th-century England (hence the high armhole and traditional wool front).
  2. A boy who carries letters from the post.
