(Sp. model spelled same [arójo] < Latin arrugia 'mining trench or riverbed')Northwestern Texas: 1806. A deep-cut channel made by a creek or rivulet. It may be filled with water or be dry. Dry arroyos are referred to as arroyos secos in Arizona. According to Hendrickson, the term may refer to a "brook, creek, channel, gully, dry wash, stream bed, or valley." Bentley notes that the terms cañon and arroyo may substitute for each other, in a non- technical sense. Spanish sources concur with all the meanings listed except 'valley' and 'canyon,' which are clearly extensions of the original meanings. This term, along with others such as canyon and mesa, is used frequently in literature and films depicting the cowboy in the Southwest.Alternate forms: aroya, arroya, royo.Also called a wash, often pronounced with an intrusive /r/.
