Etymology

The French noun **barbecue** is a loanword from Spanish *barbacoa*, which itself comes from Taíno (an Arawak language of the Caribbean). The Taíno term refers to a wooden frame or pit for slow‑cooking over coals, and it entered French in the 18th–19th centuries through culinary and maritime contacts. No Latin or Greek roots are involved; the word simply migrated from Taíno → Spanish → French, retaining its meaning of a fire‑based cooking method.
