Origin

Middle English: from Spain + -ish¹, with later shortening of the first vowel.

Paella on the patio
Spain is a popular choice for Brits holidaying or moving abroad. This is hardly surprising when you see how many Spanish words in English are connected with relaxation and enjoyment.
SPANISH paella and tapas are perfect for outdoor dining on a patio, originally the name for an inner courtyard in a Spanish house. The dish of rice with chicken and shellfish, cooked in a large shallow pan, goes back to Latin patella ‘a small shallow dish’—so the plate of food balanced on your knee has a close connection with patella as the anatomical name for the kneecap. Tapas, small savoury dishes served with drinks at a bar, used to come free, and were traditionally served on a dish balanced atop a glass. This was the origin of the name, since the word literally means ‘cover’ or ‘lid’.
Sangria, a mixture of red wine, carbonated water, and a sweetener, would be just the drink for a patio meal. Its colour is the source of the name, which in Spanish means ‘bleeding’. Although sherry has a typically British feel to it, the name comes from vino de Xerez or ‘wine of Xerez’—the original name of Jerez in southern Spain, from which the drink came. After all this eating and drinking, a siesta or nap might be welcome. This Spanish word for a rest taken at the hottest time of the day goes back to Latin sexta hora ‘sixth hour of the day’.
Certainly not relaxing, but traditionally Spanish, is a bullfight. A mounted bullfighter is called a toreador, from toro ‘bull’, and the bullfighter whose task is to kill the bull is the matador, a word which means literally ‘killer’. It goes back ultimately to Persian māt ‘dead’, the origin of the -mate part of checkmate (see check). An English proverb warns us not to put off till tomorrow what we can do today, but the relaxed Spanish have given us mañana, ‘tomorrow’, to express a more easy-going attitude to pressing schedules. You could respond to any protests about slackness with que sera sera, which indicates that you have no control over the future. The Spanish phrase, meaning ‘what will be, will be’, was popularized in English by the 1956 song ‘Que Sera, Sera’, sung by Doris Day.
