English[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

Etymology 1[edit]

From Middle English barre, from Old French barre ‎(“beam, bar, gate, barrier”), from Vulgar Latin *barra, of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old Frankish *bara ‎(“bar, beam, barrier, fence”), from Proto-Germanic *barō ‎(“beam, bar, barrier”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰAr- ‎(“log, board, plank”). If so, then cognate with Old High German para, bara ‎(“bar, beam, one's cherished land”), Old Frisian ber ‎(“attack, assault”), Swedish bärling ‎(“a spoke”), Norwegian berling ‎(“a small bar in a vehicle, rod”), Latin forus ‎(“gangway, plank”), Russian забо́р ‎(zabór, “fencing, paling, fence”), Ancient Greek φάρος ‎(pháros, “piece of land, furrow, marker, beacon, lighthouse”). May well have been reinforced by existing Old English term from the same root.
