Where it comes from
Borrowed from French bizarre (“odd, peculiar, bizarre”, formerly “headlong, angry”), then either from Italian bizzarro (“weird, eccentric, frisky”) or, less likely, from Basque bizar (literally “beard”, from the notion that bearded Spanish soldiers made a strange impression on the French).
adjective more bizarre · bizarrer · most bizarre · bizarrest
- Strangely unconventional; highly unusual and different from common experience, often in an extravagant, fantastic, and/or conspicuous way. That was a bizarre adventure!
noun bizarres
- A carnation having stripes of two distinct colours on the white petals.
- A tulip with a certain pattern of various colored stripes. Another singular feature in the tulip is, that after it breaks, it ever remains the same, and never returns to its self-color again. The show or fancy tulips are divided into three classes:— 1. Bybloemen, or violets, such as have a white ground, variegated with purple or violet, the edges well feath
