92 almagre
Carlisle: 1893. An early Spanish meaning for this Arabic term was iron oxide (rust) or oxidation. It also came to signify iron oxide as a pigment in clay. In the Southwest the term is closer to the original Arabic, referring to red earth or Indian red (where iron oxide may or may not be the principal pigment), used to paint adobe walls and houses. Cowboys familiar with construction methods and techniques that the Spaniards in the Old World learned from the Moors would have known this term also. -
93 cahon
( cajón [kaxón] < caja 'box' < Latin capsa via Catalan caixa or Occitan caissa plus augmentative suffix -ón; literally, large box, trunk)1) According to Clark, "a box canyon or a narrow basin of land nearly surrounded by steep sides." It is likely that the English equivalent is a calque from this Spanish term. The DRAE indicates that, especially in Chile, cajón may refer to a long canyon with an arroyo or river at its base. No Spanish source consulted provides a meaning for this term exactly like the one used in the Southwest, but Santamaría cites Beaumont, who uses cajón as a synonym for cañón.2) Clark: 1860s. "A boxlike or squarish building constructed of adobe." Clark also notes that this term is frequently used in place names in the Southwest. Spanish sources do not reference this meaning. -
94 casa
(Sp. model spelled same [kása] < Latin casam 'hut or cabin')Clark: 1840s. The General Spanish term for 'house' was used in the Southwest to refer particularly to a Mexican- or Spanish-style house made of adobe with a tiled roof. -
95 corral
(Sp. model spelled same [korál], a term of uncertain origin common to Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Galician, and Occitan. It is related to Spanish and Portuguese corro 'enclosure' or 'circle of people,' but it is uncertain which of the two terms derives from which. Corominas notes that corral was probably the original term; if so, it derives from Vulgar Latin * curralem 'race track' or 'place where vehicles are enclosed' < Latin currum 'cart')1) DARE: 1829. A pen or enclosure for horses or livestock. Such pens were generally made of wooden posts and slatting or other fencing material, but they could be constructed of rope or adobe walls (Watts notes that the latter was used to protect herds from pillaging Indians).2) Rocky Mountains: 1848. A group of wagons drawn into a circle for defense.3) DARE: 1859. According to a quote included in the DARE, a correll was a hedge built around a campsite to protect travelers from the wind.4) OED: 1847. As a verb, corral means to herd animals into an enclosure, or (5) to draw wagons into a circle.6) OED: 1860. Blevins notes that, by extension from (4), to corral is to gain control of anything. Hendrickson includes a quote from the New York Times (1867) that demonstrates the variety of meanings the term corral had in the West at that time: "If a man is embarrassed in any way, he is 'cor-raled.' Indians 'corral' men on the plains; storms 'corral' tourists. The criminal is 'corraled' in prison, the gambler 'corrals' the dust of the miner." The DRAE references corral as an enclosed, uncovered place in a home or a field that serves as a pen for animals. The additional meanings above are not referenced in Spanish sources, but are extensions of the original meaning.Alternate forms: coral, corel, corell, corrale, correll, coural. -
96 Mexican
1) New York: 1912. Of inferior quality, shoddy or shabby; makeshift or stopgap; also illegal. The DARE notes that this meaning is derogatory, used chiefly in the West and Southwest.2) DARE: 1968. Regarding clock time or scheduled events, belated, tardy, or unreliable. Compare Navajo—Navajo time.3) DARE (from Texas to California): 1854. Spicy (said of foods).4) Southwestern California: 1962. As the DARE notes, in several combinations, such as Mexican toothache, Mexican disease, and Mexican sickness, it refers to diarrhea.5) A Mexican peso. Also known as adobe dollar, 'dobe dollar.6) The typical bean used in Mexican dishes: pinto or kidney bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris). The adjective Mexican is also used in various combinations, most of which denote plants and animals native to the border states and northern Mexico. Other adjectival constructions refer to aspects of southwestern culture, often reflecting the cowboy's sarcasm. Those that are especially pertinent to his era and profession are listed below. -
