1 buckaroo
( vaquero [bakéro] < Spanish vaca 'cow' < Latin vaccam 'cow'and Spanish suffix -ero 'profession or office.' Mason's speculation that a Nigerian form mbakara > bakara 'white man' is the model can easily be dismissed on linguistic grounds. See Cassidy and Hill for further details)1) Texas: 1827. A working cowboy; later it came to mean any ranch hand. Watts suggests that the term was popularized in pulp literature because it conjures an image of a man on a bucking horse; indeed, A. A. Hill posits a blend with the term buck( ing) as the source for the first syllable. Watts also notes that the most widely known form, buckaroo, was used in the Northwest. In the Southwest bucka-ree was common. Blevins indicates that the term buckaroo was commonly used in "the desert basins of Northern Nevada, Northern California, Eastern Oregon, and Western Idaho." Hendrickson indicates that this word has become so integrated into the English language that it has been the model for over fifty American slang words. Among those referenced by Hendrickson are stinkaroo (a bad play or movie), the old switcheroo (the act of substituting one thing for another with the intention to deceive, 'bait-and-switch tactics'), antsaroo (refers to someone who is impatient or has 'ants in his pants'), jugaroo (jail), and ziparoo (energy). The original Spanish term is vaquero, a common name for a man who cares for cattle.Alternate forms: (some early forms were stressed on the second syllable) baccaro, bacquero, baquero, bucaroo, buccaro, buccaroo, buchario, buckara, buckaree, buckayro, buckeroo, buckhara, bukkarer, jackeroo.2) Nevada: 1967. It may also be a verb meaning to work as a cowboy. -
2 buckaroo saddle
A kind of double-rigged saddle preferred by buckaroos. According to Blevins, it has narrow forks, bucking rolls, and a high cantle. -
3 vaquero
(Sp. model spelled same [bakéro] < vaca [see above] and agentive suffix -ero, 'profession or trade')Hendrickson: 1800s. Usually a Mexican or California cowboy, but it may also refer to a cowboy in general. It is most likely the model for cowboy and buckaroo. The DRAE glosses it as a herder of cattle. Santamaría indicates that the term refers to a person who works in the various operations of a ranch, including the handling of cattle.Alternate forms: baquero, buckaroo ( See various forms of buckaroo), vacher. -
4 argolla del entreatador
(Sp. model spelled same [argójaóelentreataóór] < Arabic al-gulla 'the collar or handcuffs' (meaning 'iron ring' in Spanish) and del 'of the' and entreatador 'one that ties among two or more straps' < entre 'among or between' and atador ( atar < Latin aptare 'to adjust or adapt' and agentive suffix - dor; hence, the term refers to an iron ring used to tie between several straps)According to Watts, this term was used in the Southwest and California to refer to "the ring of the rigging straps, part of the saddle equipment." The DRAE defines argolla as a ring, generally made of iron, used with a rope to tie or catch something. Entreatador does not appear in any Spanish source but is a legitimate creation. This term was used among Mexican vaqueros and may have found its way into some varieties of cowboy English; no doubt it was a mouthful for the buckaroo who spoke little or no Spanish. -
5 baile
1) New Mexico and Arizona: 1844. A dance or ball, especially one in which the participants or the dances are Mexican. -
6 cama
(Sp. model spelled same [káma] < Hispanic Latin cama 'bed or couch on the ground,' probably of pre-Roman origin). Nevada: 1940. This General Spanish term for bed sometimes refers to a buckaroo's bedroll. The Spanish term may connote a jocular or pejorative meaning, since a bed on the hard ground next to the campfire is not likely to be very comfortable or fancy. Spanish sources do not reference this particular meaning for the term. -
7 cowboy
A man who is employed by a ranch to care for grazing cattle. The origin of the term is a matter of some discussion. The first cowboys of the American West were the Mexican vaqueros. It is likely that the term cowboy, like its synonym buckaroo, derived from vaquero. The fact that the earliest cowboys were the Mexican herders and that cowboy is so similar to vaquero in its formation lends credence to this theory. The use of "boy" in the term rather than "man" may be explained by the fact that it was originally used (before the Civil War) to refer only to young, inexperienced drovers who herded cattle. It may also have been a derisive or condescending term, similar to the use of 'boy' as a form of address (from whites to black males) in the Deep South. By the 1870s, cowboy became a general term to refer to anyone who tended cattle. Somewhat later (after the 1880s), the term came to connote a wild or uncouth individual. For instance, the Clanton gang, who battled the Earps, are sometimes referred to as such. The term cowboy has become widespread in English and is used extensively as an attributive adjective. Its usage today frequently connotes an impulsive individual who, through a show of force, attempts to resolve a conflict. -
