  • 2 bandido

    (Sp. model spelled same [bandido], past participle of bandir, of disputed origin; the DRAE claims that bandir comes from Gothic bandwjan, meaning to outlaw or banish; Corominas indicates it is from Frankish bannjan, which was confused with Gothic bandwjan 'to make a sign')
        DARE: 1898. A bandit, bandito, or desperado. This item also foregrounds the origin of the referent; the Spanish term usually denotes a bandit of Mexican origin. The DRAE concurs with the principal meaning of bandit. Such figures are stock characters in the literature and film depicting the Old West.

    PÍCARO In Spanish literature, especially of the Golden Age, the pícaro is a roguish character whose travels and adventures are used as a vehicle for social satire. The anonymous Lazarillo de Tormes (1554), which relates the life and adventures of one such character, is thought to be the first of the genre known as the picaresque novel, or novela picaresca. Other well-known picaresque novels were written by Cervantes (Rinconete y Cortadillo) and Francisco de Quevedo (El Buscón).
