Etymology 2

Etymology unclear, but probably from Proto-Germanic *karzijaną (“to turn”), from Proto-Indo-European *gers- (“to bend, turn”). Compare cair (“to turn, go”), char (“to turn”), Dutch keren (“to turn”), German Kehre (“turn, bend”).

William Shakespeare had something of a fondness for verbalizing nouns, and sometimes even substantivizing verbs. However, anything other than a "turn" does not seem to make any sense within the broader context of the cited Sonnet.

Noun

car (plural cars)

  1. (obsolete) A turn.
    • 1609, William Shakespeare, “Sonnet 7”, in Shake-speares Sonnets. […]‎, London: By G[eorge] Eld for T[homas] T[horpe] and are to be sold by William Aspley, OCLC 216596634:
      But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
      Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day, (after the sun reaches the zenith it, with a weary turn, begins to reel (“to roll”) (downwards))

Etymology 3

Diagram for the list (42 69 613). The car of the first cons is 42, and the cdr points the next cons.

Acronym of contents of the address part of register number. Note that it was based on original hardware and has no meaning today.

Noun

car (plural cars)

  1. (programming) The first part of a cons in Lisp. The first element of a list.
    Antonym: cdr
    Holonym: cons
    • 2000, Matt Kaufmann; Panagiotis Manolios; J Strother Moore, Computer-aided reasoning: an approach:
      The elements of a list are the successive cars along the "cdr chain." That is, the elements are the car, the car of the cdr, the car of the cdr of the cdr, etc.
