From the stem *bʰar-/-bʰor-(“projecting forward; tip, point; bristle, awn”), form of *bʰer-(“to cut, to grate, to split, to hit”). Kroonen considers the root to be potentially derived from *bʰers-(“tip, point”) (which seems to be related to the roots discussed above), with sense development "pointy and prickly thing" > "beard".[1]
Latin: barbātus(the initial /b-/ is also found in barba) (see there for further descendants)
