bronco
word
Definition
A bronco is a wild or partially tamed horse, especially one used in rodeos in North America because it bucks and is hard to ride.
Usage & Nuances
'Bronco' is associated with North American rodeos and cowboy culture. It usually refers to a wild or bucking horse, not just any horse. Rarely used outside this context in modern English.
