Etymology

1. Borrowed from French barricade (“barricade”), from French barrique (“barrel, cask”) + -ade (“collective or result-forming suffix”). French barrique (“barrel, cask”) was borrowed from Old Occitan barrica (“barrel, cask”), from Vulgar Latin *barrica (“barrel, cask”), possibly from Gaulish *baril (“cask, barrel”); the ultimate origin is uncertain. The French noun originally denoted an assemblage of barrels used as an obstacle, before broadening to any makeshift defensive barrier.
