A breed of cattle with very long horns, originally from Texas and used on ranches, or the University of Texas mascot.
From 'long' plus 'horn', a straightforward compound word. The breed became famous in American history during the cattle drives of the 1800s.
Texas Longhorns became legendary during the Cattle Drive era (1860s-1880s) when millions of them walked thousands of miles from Texas to Kansas railheads—their long horns made them iconic symbols of the American frontier, even though they were actually descended from Spanish cattle.
