Etymology: < post-classical Latin berberis (11th cent.; from 13th cent. in British sources; also barbaris (1440 in Promptorium Parvulorum): see note), with subsequent folk-etymological assimilation to berry n.1 (compare bearberry n. 1). Compare earlier barbaryn n.2, and later Berberis n.Post-classical Latin berberis, barbaris is < Arabic barbārīs (13th cent.), shortened < ambarbārīs (12th cent. or earlier; probably a loanword). Compare Middle French berbere, Middle French berberis, French berbéris (mid 16th cent.), Spanish berberís (a1325), Italian berbero (14th cent. as berberi). N.E.D. (1885) enters this under the double headword barberry, berberry and gives the pronunciations (bā·ɹbĕri, bə̄·ɹbĕri) /ˈbɑːbərɪ/, /ˈbɜːbərɪ/.
