Answer:

The English word cowboy was derived from vaquero, a Spanish word for an individual who managed cattle while mounted on horseback. Vaquero was derived from vaca, meaning "cow," which came from the Latin word vacca. ... By 1849 "cowboy" had developed its modern sense as an adult cattle handler of the American West.
