Folklore / Tauromaquia
Spanish term or phrase: morlaco
"El Quite": La vivacidad del pase nos hace morder el polvo levantado por el **morlaco**.

D'après les usuels de la langue espagnole, c'est un taureau de combat de grande taille ; or, le Larousse bilingue indique qu'il s'agit d'un terme familier pour désigner le taureau.

Quel autre terme que "taureau" pourrait-on employer ?

toro


Explanation:
Je crois que tu pourrais dire le toro. Cela laisserait de la couleur, et serait très bien compris en français. Dans le sud-ouest, ou la tauromachie est très populaire, la plupart des termes viennent de l'espagnol ou bien de l'occitan (béarnais). On n'ecrit pas taureau mais toro.
