picadorn.

Brit.

/ˈpɪkədɔː/, U.S.

/ˈpɪkəˌdɔr/

Inflections: Plural picadors, (irregular) picadores.

Forms: 1700s– picador, 1900s– picadoro (irregular).

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish picador.

Etymology: Apparently < Spanish picador (although this is apparently not attested in the bullfighting sense until later: 1820; 1598 or earlier in sense ‘horse trainer’) < picar to prick, pierce (see pick v.¹) + -ador -ator suffix. Compare French picador (1776 in a translation of the source cited in quot. 1775 at sense 1), Portuguese picador (1620).Figurative use (compare sense 2) is apparently not recorded in dictionaries of Spanish. In plural form picadores after the Spanish plural form. N.E.D. (1906) gives a pronunciation with stress on the third syllable.

1. Bullfighting. A person mounted on horseback who goads the bull with a lance, aiming to pierce the neck muscles in order to reduce its strength.
