Plural of 'bullfight': traditional spectacles originating in Spain where matadors confront and kill bulls in an arena.
From 'bullfight' (bull + fight), a compound that emerged in the Spanish tradition and was adopted into English. The tradition has roots in ancient bull-worship rituals.
Bullfighting is called 'el arte' (the art) in Spain, but it's increasingly controversial—Catalonia banned it in 2010 when even some Spaniards recognized it as cruel rather than cultural!
