Etymology

The word 'cinch' originated in the mid 19th century from the Spanish word 'cincha', which means a girth or saddle strap. It was adopted into English to refer to the strap used to secure a saddle on a horse. Over time, the meaning of 'cinch' expanded to include something that is very easy or simple to do. The verb form of 'cinch' to mean to tighten securely also developed from the original horse-related usage.
