editEtymology
editInherited from Middle Persian 𐬠𐬀𐬭𐬠𐬀𐬭𐬍𐬔 (barbarīg, “barbarian; African”), ultimately from Ancient Greek βᾰ́ρβᾰρος (bárbaros). Equivalent to بربر (barbar, “Barbary”) + ی (-i). For the sense "Berber", presumably a semantic loan from Arabic بَرْبَرِيّ (barbariyy).

In the extremities of his eyes
As if a savage
Is ecstasied by the prey's warm blood
In the lustrous lightning of his teeth
