Word origin
The word 'barbarously' originates from the adjective 'barbarous,' which is derived from the Latin word 'barbarus,' meaning foreign or strange, and the Greek word 'barbaros,' which referred to non-Greek speakers. Historically, 'barbarian' described people who were considered uncivilized by the Greeks and Romans. Over time, the meaning of 'barbarous' evolved to imply cruelty and a lack of civilization rather than simply foreignness. The suffix '-ly' transforms the adjective into an adverb, thus allowing the word to describe how actions are performed in a way that reflects barbarism. The connotation of the word has remained strong, often used in literary and historical contexts to highlight the extremes of human behavior.
