Bizarro ?? Mar 12, 2007

Hey!!

Who said "Bizarro" is a modern anglicism in spanish?

It is not at all. "Bizarro" comes from italian "bizzarro" -> "iracundo"; just have a look at the DRAE...

http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=bizarro

And it's there at least since 1726... page 612, 2.

Please don't judge so fast !... See more

It is now being used as a synonym for extraño, and yes, it came from iracundo, but it means lucido, espléndido, generoso.
