Origin:
The term "mestizo" originated in the 16th century during the Spanish colonization of the Americas. It was used to describe the offspring of Spanish colonists and Indigenous American women.
The term was initially used with a negative connotation, as it implied the mixing of "pure" bloodlines. However, over time, the term lost its derogatory meaning and became simply a descriptor of mixed racial heritage.
