101 monte
(Sp. model spelled same [monte] < Latin montem 'mountain')1) California: 1851. An uncultivated piece of land, generally heavily thicketed with chaparral or mesquite. The DRAE references it as uncultivated land covered with trees, shrubs, or bushes. Santamaría glosses it as wild vegetation in general.2) Clark: 1840s. Either a card game played with forty-five cards in which bets are made on the two cards dealt to each player or a con game in which the dealer lays down three cards and bets that a player cannot find a certain card, generally the queen of spades or an ace. The DRAE references monte as a game of chance and betting in which the dealer takes two cards from the bottom of the deck and two from the top and then returns all four cards to the deck and starts revealing cards until one that matches one of the original four in number is found to win a hand. Monte also refers to a popular card game also known as banca. The DRAE also references monte as a pile (or mountain) of cards left over after each player has had his share; the OED suggests that the card games were named after this pile of cards.3) Monte is also used as a combining element in monte bank, monte banker, monte dealer, monte layout, monte sharp (a cheater), monte table, and monte thrower (a dealer in three-card monte).
