Brit.

/bəˈzɑr/

Forms: Also 1600s bizare, bizarr.

Etymology: modern English (17th cent.), < French bizarre ‘odd, fantastic,’ formerly ‘brave, soldier-like’; compare Spanish bizarro, Portuguese bizarro ‘handsome, brave,’ Italian bizzarro ‘angry, choleric,’ dialect French (Berry) bigearrer to quarrel. Littré suggests that the Spanish word is an adaptation of Basque bizarra beard, in the same manner as hombre de bigote moustached man, is used in Spanish for a ‘man of spirit’; but the history of the sense has not been satisfactorily made out.1667 J. Evelyn Mem. (1857) III. 161 We have hardly any words that do so fully express the French..naivete, ennui, bizarre, concert..emotion, defer, effort..let us therefore (as the Romans did the Greek) make as many of these do homage as are like to prove good citizens.

a. At variance with recognized ideas of taste, departing from ordinary style or usage; eccentric, extravagant, whimsical, strange, odd, fantastic.
