matadorn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈmatədɔː/, U.S.

/ˈmædəˌdɔr/

Forms: 1600s–1800s matadore, 1600s– matador, 1700s mattador, 1700s mattadore.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish matador.

Etymology: < Spanish matador killer (11th cent.), matador (16th cent. in senses A. 1 and A. 3) < matar to kill (see mate v.¹) + -ador -ator suffix.Compare classical Latin mactātor slaughterer (one isolated attestation) < mactāre to kill + -ātor -ator suffix; neither of these classical Latin words seems to be represented in any of the Romance languages, and their resemblance to the Spanish forms is probably coincidental.

A. n.

I. Senses relating to games.

1. Cards. In ombre, skat, and other card games: the card designated as the highest trump, and any of several cards descending in sequence from it (the actual number varying according to the game).In some games, such as ombre (in which matadors originated) but not in skat, the matadors carry powers and privileges superior to those of ordinary trumps.
