19 carga

(Sp. model spelled same [kárga] < cargar < Vulgar Latin * car-ricare 'to carry' < Celto-Latin carrus 'cart or wagon')

    DARE: 1844.

   1) A cargo or load to be transported.

   2) A unit of weight that varied depending on the product or the way in which it was carried. Hoy notes that a carga carried by an Indian was equivalent to two arrobas (approximately fifty pounds), but one carried by a mule (a carga de mulas) was the same as eight arrobas (about three hundred pounds). The DRAE references carga as something that can be transported on one's shoulders, on one's back, by pack animal, or on any vehicle. The DRAE also indicates it can refer to a variable unit of weight for wood, fruit, grains, and other items. Santamaría also references carga as a variable unit of measurement, which may refer to two hectoliters (a measurement roughly equivalent to two-and-a-quarter dry gallons), two boxfuls, or the quantity that can be transported on the back of a pack animal. It is also used as a measurement for dry goods that is roughly equivalent to the weight of four hundred cocoa beans. Islas concurs, adding that another equivalent measure is that of ninety-six cuartillos (equal to two hectoliters).

Vocabulario Vaquero > carga
20 charro

(Sp. model spelled same [t∫áro ]'coarse, crude, rustic, or in bad taste'; probably from Basque txar 'bad, defective' or from a related Iberian term)

   1) Clark: 1890s. A Mexican horseman or cowboy, particularly one in the traditional costume consisting of a large sombrero decorated with gold or silver embroidery; a loose-fitting white shirt; a short, tight-fitting jacket; and tight-fitting, flared pants that are also decorated with embroidery, buttons, and braids. Carlisle notes that chario is an alternate spelling in the Southwest.

   2) The costume worn by the cowboy described in (1).

   3) Clark: 1930s. A coarse, mean person; a churl.

   4) More recently, a Mexican cowboy who competes in the Mexican rodeo circuit that is popular in southern California. According to the DRAE, charro originally referred to a resident of Salamanca, Spain, especially the region surrounding Alba, Vitigudino, Ciudad Rodrigo, and Ledesma, and to things of or pertaining to this region, such as the charro dress and manner of speaking. It is also an adjective used to describe a thing that is in poor taste or something decorated with bright, clashing colors. In Mexico, a charro is a horseman who dresses in a special costume as described above. Santamaría defines charro as an expert rider who is skilled in taming horses and other animals. Islas concurs, adding that charros are skilled in using rodeo-style rope-throws. He also notes that although the term charro and the clothing and customs pertaining to the charro originated in Salamanca, Spain, they have evolved considerably in the New World, and the charro has become a representative figure for the Mexican people. This term had reference to upper-class horsemen and hacendados (owners of the large Spanish land-grant haciendas) and contrasted with the term vaquero, which indicated much humbler origins.
