means A traditional Mexican musical ensemble—typically featuring violins, trumpets, guitars, and the deep-bellied guitarrón, performed by musicians in ornate charro suits—or one of its members.

from From Mexican Spanish. The romantic folk tale claims it comes from the French word for 'marriage' (mariage), supposedly because the bands played at weddings during the French intervention in Mexico—but scholars have largely debunked this, since the word appears in documents predating the French presence. The truer answer is that the origin is uncertain; it most likely springs from an indigenous language of western Mexico, possibly the Coca or Nahuatl tongue of the Jalisco region where mariachi was born, though the exact root has been lost.
