OHV = off-highway vehicle (semi-transparent) = O + H + V
This is a direct initialism of 'off-highway vehicle', but the meaning is not fully recoverable from the letters unless the full term is known.
Etymology
OHV comes from off-highway vehicle, with off meaning 'not on' and highway meaning 'main road'. So an OHV is a vehicle made to go 'off' the paved road on rough paths.
