Word origin
The word 'barbarous' originated from the Latin word 'barbarus', which in turn came from the Greek word 'barbaros' meaning 'foreign' or 'strange'. In ancient times, the Greeks used this term to describe non-Greek speaking people, associating them with uncivilized behavior. Over time, the meaning of 'barbarous' evolved to denote cruelty or savagery, reflecting a negative connotation towards those perceived as uncivilized.
