Etymology
The noun is from French barricade, from barrique (“cask”) + -ade (“group”); or Spanish barricada, from barrica (“cask”) + -ada (“group”). So named after the first street barricades in Paris, which were composed of casks filled with earth, paving stones, etc. The verb is from the noun. See: French Nouns '
