1 cinch
Noun forms:1) Colorado: 1859. The saddle girth or strap used to hold a saddle on an animal. It is generally made of braided horsehair, leather, canvas, or cordage, and has a metal ring on either end.Alternate forms: cincha, cinche, cincher, cincho, sinche.2) New York: 1888. A sure bet; an easy thing.Alternate forms: cincha, cincho, sinch.3) DARE: 1889. A four-player card game also known as Double Pedro or High Five.4) DARE: 1871. To tighten the strap on a saddle; to secure the saddle on a horse's back.Alternate form: cinch up (Adams says that cinch up is the proper term and that cinch alone was never used in Old West).5) California: 1968. To secure or fasten something.6) Nebraska: 1905. To secure a deal, to make certain.Alternate form: cinch up.7) California: 1875. According to the DARE, "to squeeze into a small place." This was also used figuratively. For instance, a person caught committing a dishonest act was cinched. Spanish sources reference only the first of the above definitions. The rest are extensions. The DRAE glosses cincha as a band made of hemp, wool, horsehair, leather, or esparto grass with which one secures the saddle on an animal. It fits behind the front legs or under the belly of the horse and is tightened with one or more buckles. Santamaría and Islas give similar definitions to that found in the DRAE, but they indicate that in Mexico the term is commonly spelled cincho.A broken cinch strap or a figurative expression for any failed venture.Washington: 1916. According to Watts and Adams, a horse that bucks and falls backward when the cinch on its saddle is pulled too tightly.Blevins glosses this term as a hook on a spur that attaches to the cinch to prevent an animal from throwing its rider.The ring on a cinch, according to Blevins.As Clark notes, this term refers to the two straps on a western-style saddle; one in the front and the other at the rear.Carlisle: 1912. According to Carlisle, a saddle strap that fits "between the ribs and the hips of the horse."Carlisle: 1930. The rear strap on a western saddle.OED: 1898. A sure thing; something that is easy. Hendrickson suggests that the term comes from a combination of cinch ( See 2) and a reference to the underworld where criminals used lead pipes as weapons because they were a surefire way to dispose of their victims. He goes on to say the lead pipes were easy to get rid of if the criminals were approached by police. His etymology is unsupported by other English sources consulted, and appears fanciful, to say the least. Also referenced in the OED as "a complete certainty." -
2 sobrecincha
(Sp. model spelled same [soßresín,t∫a] < sobre < Latin super 'on or above' and cincha 'cinch' < Latin cingulam)Blevins quotes Smith, who indicates that this term is synonymous with cinch ( also known as surcingle or girth) in the Southwest, and refers to the strap that passes under the belly of an animal to hold a pack or a saddle in place. The DRAE glosses it as the strap that runs under a horse's belly and over the saddle to hold the blanket, horsecloth, or caparison in place. -

13 latigo
( látigo [látigo], a term of uncertain origin, common to Spanish and Portuguese; given that the oldest meaning is 'strap used for tying something,' it is probable that the term derives from Gothic * laittug, which would also be related to the Anglo-Saxon látteh 'halter rope')1) Clark: 1880s. A piece of leather three to five feet long and two inches wide used to fasten the cinch onto the saddle. One end is fastened to the cinch ring on the saddle and the other passed through the ring on the end of the cinch and the saddle ring and secured with a knot once the desired adjustment is obtained.Alternate forms: ladigo, largo, larigo, latigo strap.The form larigo is a spelling pronunciation; English speakers seeing the term in its written form would have pronounced the intervocalic {t} (or {d}) in the first variant form as a flap, which is how an intervocalic {r} in Spanish is pronounced. Largo is a later term that evolved from larigo via schwa deletion. Bentley notes that largo is extremely common today on ranches where a western-style saddle is employed.2) Hendrickson indicates that the term also refers to a rawhide thong that secures a gun holster to the leg. The DRAE glosses it either as a long, thin, flexible whip made from rope, leather, baleen, or another material used principally to discipline horses, or as a cord or strap used to secure and adjust the cinch of a saddle.See chicote -

20 fiador
(Sp. model spelled same [fjadór] < fiar 'to guarantee' < Vulgar Latin fldere plus the agentive suffix -dor; 'guarantor')According to Watts, a cord made of rawhide, hair, or white cotton that attaches to a "hackamore" and fits around the neck of the animal, converting the hackamore into a strong halter. The DARE quotes Grant, who provides a more detailed description: "The fiador is a small doubled rope of either horsehair or sashcord that runs through the loops of the hackamore's brow band at the point just below and behind the ears. Then it goes around the neck, is knotted under the throat, and ends in another and lower knot, so tied that it will not slip over the heel button of the bosal." The DRAE gives several definitions for this term, one of them describing a leather strap worn by the outside front animal in a team from the harness to the cheek piece of the bit. As a general term in Spanish, fiador refers to any cord or other item that secures something and assures that it does not slip or fall out of place. Islas glosses the term as the part of the hackamore; a harness strap that secures the hackamore. It is passed around the nape of the animal's neck and tied behind the jawbone.Alternate forms: feador, fiadore, theodore (the latter is a folk-etymology).
