The word "ranch" originates from the Spanish term "rancho," which refers to a place where livestock is raised. "Adobe" comes from the Arabic word "al-tub," meaning brick or clay, and was adopted into Spanish to describe sun-dried bricks used in construction. "Hacienda" also has Spanish roots, derived from "hacer," meaning to make or do, referring to large estates or farms. Lastly, "tortilla" comes from the Spanish word for "little cake," stemming from "torta," which reflects its flat, round shape.
