What is another word for matador?
Pronunciation: [mˈatɐdˌɔː] (IPA) 
A matador is typically associated with bullfighting, but there are quite a few different words you could use to describe this type of performer. If you prefer a more generic term, you might call them a bullfighter, a torero, or a toreador. Alternatively, you could opt for a more specific descriptor, such as espada (which refers to a matador who specializes in sword-fighting rather than other types of bullfighting) or rejoneador (a matador who fights bulls while on horseback). Depending on the context, you might also use words like picador (a bullfighter who uses a lance), banderillero (a bullfighter who sticks decorative barbed poles into the bull to weaken it), or capote (the large cloth a bullfighter uses to taunt and distract the bull).
