Word Origin & History
caballero
1877, "a Spanish gentleman," from Sp., from L. caballarius, from caballus "a pack-horse, nag, hack." "Not a native Lat. word (as the second -a- would show), though the source of the borrowing is uncertain" [Tucker]. Equivalent of Fr. chevalier, It. cavaliere (cf. cavalier).
