A wild or partially trained horse, especially one from the American West, known for bucking and being hard to ride.
From Spanish 'bronco' meaning rough or wild, possibly from Latin 'broncus.' Entered English through the American frontier and Spanish contact in the Southwest.
Broncos became iconic symbols of the American West, and the term 'bucking bronco' has been used in art, literature, and sports (like the Denver Broncos)—it represents the untamed spirit of the frontier.
