jinete
/xiˈnete/ · B2 · noun · mf
horseman
🏇 Etymology: from the Zenata, a Berber tribe famed for its horsemen
The Zenata were North African Berber riders who fought in medieval Spain, and their name became the word for a rider. English jennet, a small Spanish horse, comes from the same root: jinete is the rider and jennet is the horse.
