A thrust or wound made by the horn of a bull, especially in bullfighting.
From Spanish cornada, derived from cuerno meaning 'horn.' The term is specific to the vocabulary of bullfighting and Spanish-influenced English. It entered English through the sport of bullfighting in Spain and Mexico.
In bullfighting terminology, cornada is so important that it describes a specific injury—it's like how surgeons have special names for things most people just call 'cuts,' except this is part of a centuries-old tradition!
