desperadon.

/dɛspəˈreɪdəʊ/

/dɛspəˈrɑːdəʊ/

Forms: Also 1600s desparado.

Etymology: In form, identical with Old Spanish desperado out of hope, desperate ( < Latin dēspērātus ), past participle of desperar to despair < Latin dēspērāre . (In modern Spanish desesperado < desesperar .) The word does not appear to have been used substantively in Spanish, and in English use it is perhaps merely a sonorous refashioning, after Spanish words in -ado suffix, of desperate n., used in same sense.

†1. A person in despair, or in a desperate condition; = desperate adj. 1. Obsolete.
