Etymology

From post +‎ boy.

Noun

postboy (plural postboys)

1. (historical) A male postilion.
   • 2008 January 10, David Colman, “Ditching the Suit, the Vest Struts Its Stuff”, in New York Times‎^[1]:

     It is fitting that the vest should convey athleticism, since it was born as a warm but not constraining garment for postboys on horseback in 19th-century England (hence the high armhole and traditional wool front).

2. A boy who carries letters from the post.
