Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Borrowed from the Río de la Plata Spanish 'gaúcho' or Portuguese 'gaúcho', likely ultimately from a Mapuche or Quechua term such as 'cauchu' (wanderer or vagabond). Originally designating the skilled horsemen and cattle herders of the South American pampas, the term has evolved to also describe someone native to the southernmost state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul.
