In its obselete Spanish usage the word denoted a person who traveled by foot rather than on a horse (caballero). In Spanish-speaking countries, especially those in Latin America, where the hacienda system kept labourers from leaving estate, peon has a range of meanings related to unskilled or semi-skilled work or manual labour, whether referring to a low-status wage earner in a variety of rural and urban industries (especially a day labourer or a servant); a peasant; a bullfighter's assistant, or, historically, someone subject to forms of unfree labour.
