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.
