The term "buckaroo" is derived from the Spanish word "vaquero," which means "cowboy." It entered American English in the mid-19th century, particularly in the western United States, as a way to refer to cattle herders and ranch hands. The transformation likely involved phonetic changes and influences from English-speaking settlers, leading to the playful and informal connotation of "buckaroo" we recognize today.
