Compound of 四輪 (shirin, “four wheels, four-wheeled”) + 車 (-sha, “vehicle, car”).[1][2]
First cited to roughly 1810.[1] This reading appears to have been largely replaced by yonrinsha, possibly due to the Buddhist connotations of the shirin reading for 四輪 in reference to the four wheels holding up the world.
