Spanish

Etymology

From older ferrehuelo, from Mozarabic [script needed] (f-r-w-y-l) (doc. 1161, Toledo), from Arabic [script needed] (feriyûl), from Latin palliolum.[1] Interpreted as herrero (blacksmith) +‎ -uelo (diminutive ending). Compare Italian ferraiolo, which was presumably calqued from Spanish (or, as it perhaps less likely, vice-versa).

Noun

herreruelo m (plural herreruelos)

  1. (Spain) a type of short cape without a hood (capilla or capucha).
  2. (Spain, obsolete, military) A type of Spanish cavalry used in the mid- to- late 16th century wearing a cuirass or corselet and armed with wheellock pistols and either a spear or javelins. They were used for scouting, screening an army on the march, and harassment of enemy troops. They were also used in caracole formation to weaken or break an enemy infantry formation with massed volleys of pistol-fire.
