Llano \Lla"no\, n.; pl. Llanos. [Sp., plain even, level. See Plain.] An extensive plain with or without vegetation. [Spanish America]
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
1610s, American Spanish, "prairie," from Spanish llano "plain, even, level, smooth," ultimately from Latin planum "plain," from planus "smooth" (see plane (n.1)). Hence, llanero "a Latin-American cowboy" (1819), literally "plainsman."
