A thrust or lunge made with an estoc; in bullfighting, the final killing thrust delivered with the sword.
From Spanish 'estocada,' derived from 'estoc' (estoc sword). The Spanish adaptation took the French-Germanic sword name and created a noun for the action of thrusting with such a weapon.
In bullfighting, the 'estocada' is the climactic moment—it's the sword thrust that decides the bull's fate, and bullfighters train for years to execute it with precision and grace.
