fiador knot
The fiador knot (also Theodore knot) is a decorative, symmetrical knot used in equine applications to create items such as rope halters, hobbles, and components of the ''fiador'' on some hackamore designs. As traditionally described, it is a four strand diamond knot in which six of the eight ends loop back into the knot, thus allowing it to be tied with a single line. While a specific knot is discussed in this article, the fiador knot has also been treated as an entire class of multi-strand knots similarly made with a single line.
==Etymology==
The origin of the variant name "Theodore knot", used in the United States, is a corruption of the Spanish ''fiador''. American cowboys likewise corrupted a number of other closely related terms, substituting "hackamore" for ''jaquima'' and "McCarty" for ''mecate''.
Knotting authority Clifford Ashley relates Philip Ashton Rollins's suggestion that, "When Theodore Roosevelt, 'the hero of San Juan Hill,' visited the Southwest, shortly after the (War ), it was a foregone conclusion that the Spanish name 'Fiador' would be corrupted to 'Theodore' in his honor."〔
