post-chaisen.

Brit.

/ˈpəʊs(t)ʃeɪz/, U.S.

/ˈpoʊs(t)ˌʃeɪz/

Forms: see post n.³ and chaise n.

Origin: Apparently either (i) formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Or (ii) a borrowing from French, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: post n.³, chaise n.; post n.³, French chaise.

Etymology: Apparently < post n.³ + chaise n. (although this is first attested slightly later) or its etymon French chaise, after chaise de poste (1689 or earlier).

Now historical.

A horse-drawn, usually four-wheeled carriage (in Britain usually having a closed body, the driver or postilion riding on one of the horses) used for carrying mail and passengers, esp. in the 18th and early 19th centuries. See also po-chay n., post-chay n.
