The word Rosinate is “an old, worn-out horse”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1600s

Background / Comments

Although I have not read Don Quixote, I have a general knowledge of the story, but our word was new to me – it came from the name of Don Quixote’s horse: Rocinante. The name comes from the Spanish word rocin (an old horse; nag or hack) combined with ante (before; in front of).
