Quijote

Quijote is an Spanish pet name for male donkey.

In the Middle Ages, this term alluded to a piece of the harness that covered the thigh.

Later, and after the success of the novel created by Miguel de Cervantes, this word is also used to refer to a tall and thin man or an idealistic person who defends just causes that do not concern him even if they harm him.
