Sombrero
Sombrero, broad-brimmed, high-crowned hat made of felt or straw, worn
especially in Spain, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. The sombrero,
its name derived from the Spanish word sombra, meaning “shade,”
first appeared in the 15th century.

Cowboys down on the Mexican border had been picking up Spanish words for years. They took them north and pooled them straight into the deepening reservoir of English. “Ranch” comes from Spanish, as to “mustang” and “bronco” and the “chaps,” “Sombrero” and “poncho” they might wear. The “cinch” secured the saddle and they used the “lariat” and the “Lasso.” The cried out “Vamoose!” and “Pronto!” and more than anything they feared a “stampede.” “Plumb loco” is a conjunction of the American and the Spanish words. “Vigilantes” took their name from the Spanish, as did the “rodeo” and the “fiesta.” ~ Page 173
