tenderfoot \TEN-der-foot\ noun 1. a raw, inexperienced person; novice. 2. a newcomer to the ranching and mining regions of the western U.S., unused to hardships. Quotes When I came to California in the early seventies I was, probably as unsophisticated a tenderfoot as ever invaded the "wild and woolly". I had never before been farther west than Chicago and never in the country except on one occasion when I spent a week on a dairy farm in New York state. -- Robert Speed, "The Tenderfoot and the Bear," Pacific Short Story Club Magazine, January, 1911 Origin Tenderfoot is an Americanism that came to English in the mid-1800s.
