hacienda (ah-SYEN-dah, hah-see-EN-duh) - n., a large landed estate or ranch, esp. in a Spanish speaking country.


In contrast with the previous. Borrowed in the 1710s from Spanish, from Old Spanish facienda, from Latin, facienda, lit. things to be done, neuter plural of faciendus, gerundive of facere, to do.
