Word story:

Strange, but true: bizarre is a word with a contested and murky background.

For a long time, it was conjectured that bizarre is of Basque origin, coming from the word bizarr

a, meaning “beard.” This same word supposedly passed into Spanish and Portuguese as bizarr

o, with the meaning “handsome” or “brave” (one imagines in the belief that a man with a beard

was endowed with those qualities). From there it was thought to have been adopted by the Fren

ch, who liked the word but apparently did not attribute the same heroic qualities to the bearded

man. In French, bizarre means “odd.”

Recently, a more likely etymology has gained ground—rather than from Spanish, the French wor

d is thought to have come from bizarro, an Italian word meaning “angry, choleric,” and which or

iginally meant “brave, soldier-like.” Now, this still means that we have to get from a word meani

ng “angry” to one meaning “odd,” but it is, perhaps, a less bizarre journey.
