Etymology
The French verb **bizarre** is a recent formation, created by attaching the infinitive suffix **‑er** to the adjective *bizarre*. The adjective entered French in the early 19th century from Italian **bizzarro**, which ultimately comes from a Turkish or Persian root *bizār* meaning “odd, deformed”. Thus the verb’s ultimate origin traces back to that ancient root via Italian, with no Latin or Greek antecedents.
