Word origin

The term 'cowhand' originated in the 19th century in the American West, where cattle ranching was a prominent industry. Cowhands played a vital role in the operation of cattle ranches, working long hours to ensure the well-being of the livestock. The word 'cowhand' combines 'cow' referring to cattle and 'hand' indicating a worker or laborer. Over time, the term has become synonymous with the image of a rugged individual working on a ranch.
