What does MULETA mean in Scrabble?
noun
The small red cloth draped over a stick that a matador uses to direct a bull during the final part of a bullfight.
A muleta is lighter and smaller than the large cape used earlier in a bullfight, letting the matador work close to the animal in the final stage of the fight. The cloth is typically red, a color chosen for tradition and visibility in the arena rather than because bulls perceive it as red. The matador uses careful movements of the muleta to guide the charges of the bull, while a sword is often concealed behind its folds. The word entered English directly from Spanish bullfighting terminology.
How MULETA is used
A specialized term used almost entirely in descriptions of Spanish and Latin American bullfighting.
- The matador swept the muleta low as the bull charged past.
- Spectators watched every pass of the muleta with the bull inches away.
- He gripped the muleta and the sword together in one hand.
- The red cloth of the muleta flashed in the afternoon sun.
- Training with the muleta comes only after years of work with the larger cape.
