ranchman

/ɹˈæntʃmən/ noun

An owner or occupant of a ranch

Word Origin Ranchman is a straightforward compound: Spanish 'rancho' (a hut or small settlement) plus Old English 'mann'. The word 'rancho' came into English from Spanish in the American West, originally meaning a small farm or hut. So a ranchman is literally a man of the ranch. The same root 'man' appears in countless compounds like chairman, gentleman, and human.
