What does TORERO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A bullfighter, especially one who fights on foot rather than on horseback.
A torero performs in a bullring, using a cape and, in the final stage of the fight, a sword to face the bull, following a long tradition rooted in Spain and parts of Latin America. The word comes directly from Spanish and covers bullfighters on foot generally, while the more familiar English term matador refers specifically to the lead fighter who delivers the final blow. Bullfighting itself remains a deeply divisive practice, celebrated as a cultural tradition by some and opposed as cruel by others.
How TORERO is used
Borrowed directly from Spanish, used in English mainly in writing about bullfighting and Spanish or Latin American culture.
