Этимология

From samo- + chód. There is a popular belief that the term was coined in a competition, however, no record of said competition exists. There was wavering between this term and samojazd as to which would be the default term for car, but samojazd was ultimately displaced in the 20th century. First attested in the 19th century. Compare Belarusian самахо́д (samaxód) and Russian самохо́д (samoxód).
