48 Bentley
1836. Brave; wild or fierce, referring to animals or people.A shortened form of the Río Bravo (del Norte); the Mexican name for the Rio Grande.3) According to Bentley, a shout of encouragement at "some public performance or competition." It may also mean excellent or well done, notes the DRAE.4) Bentley: 1929. Also "a bandit or villain." The DRAE indicates that this term may mean brave or ferocious. Perhaps that definition arises from the fierce, tempermental character attributed to many outlaws. The DM further notes that bravo may mean wild, angry, irascible, or irritable and can be applied to animals as well as humans. Some cowpunchers, ranchers, and not a few of the animals they rode or herded were considered bravo—no doubt a number of cowboys understood and employed this term. -
49 cabeza del fuste
(Sp. model spelled same [kaβésa ðel fúste] cabeza [see above] plus del 'of the' plus fuste < Latin fustem 'stick, staff, club')Watts glosses this term as the head part of a saddletree. Santamaría and Islas concur. Both reference fuste as the main part of the saddle to which other pieces are attached. It may also be called the frame of the saddle. The cabeza del fuste is the front piece or 'head' attached to the fuste. In English, cabeza del fuste may be shortened to "fuste" or "fusty," although these may also refer to the saddletree. See also fuste.Off one's head, or crazy. -
50 chapo
(Sp. model spelled same [t∫ápo], of disputed origin. May be from Nahuatl tzapa 'dwarf' or from Spanish chaparro 'short, stubby person.' Sobarzo suggests it is the shortened form of the past participle chapodado, meaning 'cut off' [as the branches of a tree])Clark: 1850s. Short and stocky, chubby, or a person with those characteristics. Clark indicates that this term may also refer to a horse. Not referenced in the DRAE. Santamaría and Sobarzo gloss chapo as a noun or adjective that describes a short, fat person. Cobos indicates that the meaning is the same in New Mexico and southern Colorado and that chopo exists as an alternate form in Spanish.Alternate forms: chopo, chupo. -
51 tapadero
( tapadera [tapadera] < tapar 'to cover' < tapa, probably from Gothic * tappa 'plug; wooden peg; tap, spout' plus the instrumental suffix - era)Clark: 1840s.A piece of leather attached to the front of a stirrup in order to shield a cowboy's feet from the brush. In English, the term is generally used in the plural and is often shortened to "taps." Santamaría references tapadera as a term used in Tabasco, Mexico, for a shield placed in front of the stirrups of a saddle and formed in a conical shape in order to accommodate the toe of the rider's boot. Cobos indicates that the term is also used in New Mexico and southern Colorado.Alternate form: tapadera. -
52 wrangler
( caballerango [kaßajeráŋgo] < caballo 'horse' < Latin caballum 'pack horse, nag' plus - ero, an agentive suffix, plus - ango, a despec-tive suffix)OED: 1888. The hand on a ranch or trail drive who cares for the herd of horses. This position was usually held by a young or inexperienced cowboy. This term appears in English as early as the sixteenth century, but with the very different meaning of 'disputant,' such as for the throne. The OED suggests that the term used in the West is a combination of the English term wrangler and the Spanish caballerango. It is also quite likely that the western term evolved without the influence of the original English term, which cowboys were probably not familiar with. Rather, it is possible that early cowboys heard caballerango and recognized the caballo element. Early variants, caballo rango or even horse rango, would have eventually been shortened to wrango and then wrangler. It is likely that the eventual spelling was influenced by the existing English word. The Royal Academy glosses caballerango as a Mexicanism for a servant on horseback. Santamaría gives a definition more similar to the western meaning. He defines it as the servant who, on a ranch or personal estate, keeps and saddles the horses.Alternate forms: caverango, horse-wrangler, wangler, wrangatang, wrango.Also called horse pestler, horse rustler, remudero.The hand that cares for the remuda, or herd of horses, by day.The wrangler who works the early morning shift.A cowboy who cares for horses, leads rides for guests, and perform other chores on a dude ranch.A boy employed for chores on a ranch.According to Adams, a common term for a lawyer.
