91 cavvy
( caballada [kapajáða]< Spanish caballo 'horse' plus the collective suffix -ada; 'a herd of horses')1) Texas: 1821 ( caballada); Southwest Texas: 1937 (cavvy). A band of saddle horses; refers to the mounts owned by a ranch when they are not being ridden. Although Adams indicates that this term refers exclusively to domesticated horses, Watts notes that in literature it has been applied occasionally to a band of wild horses. The DARE indicates that it may have meant a grouping of horses or mules, and Clark says that in rural areas it referred to a group of stray cows, perhaps because some associated the sound of "cavvy" with "calfie." Watts mentions that cavvy and other forms were commonly used to refer to a group of saddle horses on northern ranges in the early days of cattle herding in the West. Remuda was more common in the Southwest and Texas. Later, the variant cavieyah became the standard on northern ranges, while remuda continued to be used on southern ranges. Both the DRAE and Santamaría reference caballada as a herd of horses, both stallions and mares. Although cavvy is considered the most common variant, there are many alternate forms: caavy, cabablada, caballad, caballada, caballado, caballard, caballáda, calf yard, cavalade, cavalgada, caval-lad, cavallada, cavallado, cavallard, cavalry yard, cavalyard, cavayado, cavayard, cavayer, caviada, caviard, caviarde, caviata, caviya, cavoy, cavvayah, cavvayard, cavvie, cavvieyah, cavvieyard, cavvie-yard, cavviyard, cavvieyeh, cavvoy, cavvy yard, cavvyard, cavvy-avvi, cavvyiard, cavy, cavyard, cavyyard, cavy-yard. Some of these alternate forms, such as calf yard, cavalry yard, and other formations that include the term yard are folk etymologies.2) By extension from (1) a "ca(a)vy"[sic?] was "a pony or saddle horse used on a round-up," according to Hendrickson.3) Hendrickson indicates that the term might also refer to "a stray horse or steer." Neither (2) nor (3) are referenced in Spanish sources, but may represent extensions from the original meaning. -
92 chongo
(Sp. model spelled same [t∫óŋgo], of uncertain origin. Cabrera hypothesizes that it comes from the Nahuatl tzónyoc 'hair on top' < tzontli 'hair' plus yoh 'abundant' plus c 'place')1) DARE: 1967. "A woman's bun; a top-knot."2) Carlisle: 1913. Carlisle glosses it as "a pigtail worn by the older Isleta Pueblo Indians."3) New Mexico: 1893. Apparently by extension from (2), a steer with a drooping horn; the horn itself. Glossed in the DARE and the DM as a hairstyle in which the hair is twisted into a ball and secured on the back of the head. The DRAE also notes that in the Dominican Republic it can mean a common or poor-quality horse. No Spanish source references (3), however. -
93 otero
(Sp. model spelled same [otéro] < oto, which was an earlier form of alto 'tall' < Latin altum 'tall')Blevins indicates that this term is "cowboy talk for a big steer." The DRAE glosses it as an isolated hill that is the dominant feature of a plain. Spanish sources do not reference it as an animal, but perhaps it is a semantic extension referring to the dominant animal of the herd. -
94 stampeder
1) OED: 1862. A horse, cow, or steer that is easily alarmed and bolts suddenly; also an animal that frequently causes a herd of cattle to stampede.2) California?: 1862. The OED indicates that this term also refers to a person who participates in a sudden, spontaneous, irrational movement of people, such as a gold rush. -
95 zaino
( zaino [saíno], of uncertain origin, perhaps from Arabic sa'in 'keeper of secrets,' then 'traitor.' Corominas indicates that dark-colored horses are said to be treacherous)Referenced by Smith as "a chestnut-colored horse." He does not indicate whether this term was common among English-speakers. Islas references it as a horse, cow, or steer of a solid color. In Spanish, the term often follows the color of the animal, such as a prieto zaino, which is completely black, or a colorado zaino, which is a horse that is completely red.
