Uncertain. Possibly:

  1. From Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“tip, point”), whence also Latin far (“emmer, spelt”), Proto-Germanic *baraz (“barley”) and Proto-Slavic *boršьno (“flour”).[1][2]
  2. Akin to Ancient Greek φάρμακον (phármakon, “drug, medicine”), from a tentative common Proto-Indo-European root *bʰer- (“cure with herbs”).[3][4]
  3. From Proto-Indo-European *bʰewH- (“to grow”), whence also Ancient Greek φυτόν (phutón, “plant”), Old Armenian բոյս (boys, “plant”).[5]

Sense 4 is likely a semantic loan from English weed, French herbe or Italian erba.

Etymology 2

edit

From Old French bars (12th c.), from Frankish *bars, from Proto-Germanic *barsaz (“perch”). Depending on the age of the borrowing, it may not be directly from Frankish, but from later Old Dutch (cf. modern Dutch baars). The final -s was interpreted in Old French as the nominative-singular and accusative-plural suffix, leading to the backformation bar.
