Etymology of BABARY

The word "barbarian" originates from the Greek word "barbaros", meaning "foreigner" or "non-Greek". This term was used by the ancient Greeks to describe anyone who did not speak Greek, as their languages sounded like "bar bar" to them. The Roman Empire later adopted this term to refer to people from outside their own civilization, often considering them as uncivilized or less advanced. Over time, "barbarian" evolved to have connotations of being savage, uncultured, or brutal.
