[*] Coach : trainer from Kutsche, Kutzsche, Kutscha, Kotsche, Kutschera, Gutsche, Gotsche (with several other spellings) is a surname, derived from the Hungarian Kocsi, meaning "from Kocs" (pronounced "kotch"), which is a village in the Hungarian county Komárom-Esztergom, which was historically noted as a post town between Budapest and Vienna.[1] From the 15th century onwards, the term kocsi (abbreviated from the original kocsi szekér, "carriage from Kocs") came to refer to the large, usually closed, horse-drawn four-wheeled carriage which became known in English as a coach, and the term was widely adopted in other European languages. In German, the term entered usage in the early 16th century as a loan word from Hungarian, in the form Cotschien Wägnen or Gutschenwagen, which in the period prior to 1600 evolved into Gotschiwagen, Gotzig Wegen or Kutzschwagen and numerous abbreviated forms such as Gutsche, Gotzi, Kotsche and Kutze. The term was adopted as a surname by people somehow associated with coaches; e.g. people who made coaches, or someone found in a coach as a child, could be given the name. The related term and name Kutscher refers to someone who drives a coach, viz., a coachman. 

[1] Chaussee is an historic term used in German-speaking countries for early, rural highways, designed by road engineers, as opposed to the hitherto, traditional, unpaved country roads. The term is no longer used in modern road construction, but survives in road names and is used by historians.

The German word Chaussee  was borrowed from the French chaussée by the German construction industry in the 18th century. The French word, in turn, went back to the Gallo-Romanic via calciata and meant a road surfaced with firmly compacted crushed rock. Contemporary German translations of the word were Straßendamm ("road embankment") and Hochweg ("high way") and even the roughly similar English word, highway. Around 1790, Adelung complained that "Several new authors have proposed German names but these expressions "do not capture the concept either, and may be used for every other type of artificial way [Kunststraße]." The word Kunststraße ("artificial road") then established itself but, in the main, the French word entered the German language as a loanword.

Today many road names end in -chaussee. Hamburg has retained the term in its street names (Elbchaussee, Eimsbüttler Chaussee etc.), Berlin likewise (Potsdamer Chaussee, Johannisthaler Chaussee), whilst in Bremen in 1914, the chaussees were renamed, following a decision by its citizens, as Heerstraßen (literally "military roads"). In Aachen and Münster/W. the term Steinweg ("stone way") is used instead. This also occurs in Flemish as steenweg.

[2] Macadam is a type of road construction pioneered by Scottish engineer John Loudon McAdam around 1820. The method simplified what had been considered state of the art at that point. Single-sized aggregate layers of small stones, with a coating of binder as a cementing agent, are mixed in an open-structured roadway.
