1 rodeo
OED: 1834. Originally, this term referred to a "round-up" or driving together of cattle with the purpose of inspecting, counting, separating, or branding them. Later, it came to have the meaning it does today, namely a contest in which competitors demonstrate their skill in riding, roping, and throwing cattle. The DRAE gives several related meanings for the term rodeo, including a place where cattle are gathered to rest or spend the night, or to be counted or sold. Rodeo also describes the process of gathering cattle for these purposes. The DRAE also notes that in some Latin American countries, the term also refers to a contest in which competitors ride wild horses and steers bareback and demonstrate their skill in throwing lassos.
