8 Comanche
(Sp. model spelled same [komán,t∫e], from a Shoshonean word)OED: 1806. An Indian nation of the Shoshonean family. Comanche Indians were known for their horsemanship and bellicose nature and are also linked in the popular mind with the cowboy and the Old West. The DRAE notes that the Comanches live in tribes in Texas and New Mexico. Santamaría adds that in past eras they were nomads who wandered in New Mexico and west Texas, continually waging war against the Apaches. They frequently invaded Mexico, sometimes committing atrocities as far south as the state of Durango, up until several years after Mexican independence. Comanche is also used as an attributive adjective in English (see below).Alternate forms: Camanche, Cumanche.Southwest: 1844. According to the DARE, riding while hanging off one side of a horse.Alternate form: á la comanche.
