* * *latifundio nmlarge rural estateLATIFUNDIOA latifundio is a huge estate belonging to a single landowner, of the kind found in southern Spain and in many Latin American countries. They have their origins in periods of rapid conquest of territory – from the Moors in Spain in the Middle Ages, and by the conquistadors in Latin America. Historically, they are associated with backward farming methods and poverty among the workers living on them. This is because most of the rich landowners lived away from their estates and were not over-concerned with productivity, leaving the running of the estates to their foremen. The social problems caused by latifundios led to agitation for land reform in many countries. Despite land reform programmes, and more dramatic solutions such as the Mexican and Cuban revolutions, the legacy of the latifundio still prevails today in many countries.* * *m large estate* * *latifundio nm: large estate -
4 calzone
( calzón [kalsón]< calza 'stocking' < Vulgar Latin * calceam 'trousers'). Carlisle: 1912. Carlisle indicates that the Spanish model is calzones, referring to a particular style of pants. According to her, it means pants or trousers in the Southwest. A popular Mexican song "Allá en el rancho grande," recorded by Gene Autry as well as other country and western singers, includes the lines: Te voy a hacer los calzones como los usa el ranchero. Te los comienzo de lana y los acabo de cuero. (I'm going to make your calzones like the ones the ranchero wears. I'll start them off in wool and I'll finish them in leather.)Alternate form: calzon. -
