Etymology
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.
