Word origin
The term 'cowpoke' originated in the American West in the late 19th century. It is a combination of 'cow' and 'poke,' with 'poke' being a slang term for an awkward or clumsy person. Over time, 'cowpoke' evolved to refer specifically to a ranch hand or cowboy. The word has become synonymous with the cowboy lifestyle and is often used in a nostalgic or romanticized way to evoke images of the Wild West.
