A bullfight; a traditional Spanish spectacle in which a matador fights a bull.
From Spanish corrida (de toros), from correr 'to run,' because the bull runs toward the matador. The word entered English directly from Spanish in the 19th century.
The Spanish word 'corrida' literally means 'a running,' but it has become synonymous with one of humanity's oldest ritualized combats, blending art, danger, and cultural identity.
