Definition

A person who hunts coyotes or who specializes in trapping and removing coyotes.

Etymology

From Spanish 'coyotero', formed from 'coyote' plus the Spanish agentive suffix '-ero' (meaning a person who does something). Originally Spanish-language term.

Kelly Says

The '-ero' suffix in Spanish is similar to English '-er'—it creates job titles, so a 'coyotero' is literally 'a coyote-person' or someone whose job involves coyotes.
