Etymology
The term 'muleteer' derives from the Spanish word 'muletero', which is a combination of 'mule' (from Middle English 'mule', origin from Latin 'mลซlus') and the suffix '-teer', often related to someone performing an action or trade. Mules have been used as pack animals for centuries due to their strength and endurance, especially in terrains where horses may struggle. The role of a muleteer became especially important in historical trade routes, such as the Camino de Santiago, where they would transport goods and supplies. The profession required extensive knowledge of the animals and the landscapes they worked in, shaping the cultural and economic landscapes of many regions around the world.
