英语词汇cayuse的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

cayuse. Characters in westerns sometimes use the word cay- use to describe a horse of little value, but cayuse, strictly, is a name for Indian ponies, a breed that western pioneers knew as kiyuse and which were rarely properly tamed by white men. The cayuse takes its name from the Cayuse Indians of Oregon and Washington, who bred the small horse. In 1847, blaming whites for a smallpox epidemic, the tribe attacked and killed 14 missionaries near the present city of Walla Walla, Washington. Subdued and put on a reservation in 1855, their ranks decimat- ed by disease, they died as a people, with no full-blooded Cay- use Indian surviving today.
