Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in English from the adjective 'bizarre' and the native suffix '-ness'. The root 'bizarre' entered English in the mid-17th century via French from Italian 'bizzarro', originally meaning 'irascible' or 'tending to sudden fits of anger' before shifting to mean 'strange' or 'capricious'.
