French

Etymology

From Middle French, from Old French baril, bareil ‎(“barrel”), of uncertain origin. An attempt to link baril to Old French barre ‎(“bar, bolt”) (compare Medieval Latin barra ‎(“bar, rod”)) via assumed Vulgar Latin *barrīculum meets the phonological requirement, but fails to connect the word semantically. The alternate connection to Frankish *baril, *beril, or Gothic 𐌱𐌴𐍂𐌹𐌻𐍃 ‎(berils, “container for transport”), from Proto-Germanic *bērilaz ‎(“barrel, jug, container”), from Proto-Indo-European *bher-, *bhrē- ‎(“to carry, transport”), is more plausible as it connects not only the form of the word but also the sense. Compare also Old High German biril ‎(“jug, large pot”), Luxembourgish Bärel, Bierel ‎(“jug, pot”), Old Norse berill ‎(“barrel for liquids”), Old English byrla ‎(“barrel of a horse, trunk, body”). More at bear.
