means A long, chauffeur-driven luxury car hired for rides that want to announce themselves.

from Short for 'limousine,' which comes from Limousin, a region in central France. The French originally used it for a type of hooded cloak worn by shepherds there, and the word got transferred to early car bodies that had an enclosed cab (for the driver or passengers) resembling that hood — the chauffeur sitting exposed up front, passengers cloaked in comfort behind. English clipped it down to 'limo' once the word started doing a lot of talking at parties.
