Definition
A thorny shrub that produces small red or orange berries used in cooking and traditional medicine, known for its sharp thorns.
Etymology
From Old French 'berberies' or 'barbes,' possibly from Arabic 'barbar,' with uncertain origins, but the name likely referred to the berry-producing plant in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions.
Kelly Says
Barberry bushes were so good at protecting gardens with their vicious thorns that they were called 'thorn-walls'—medieval gardeners used them as natural fences long before wire was invented.
