Definition
A German word meaning 'wonderful' or 'marvelous,' expressing enthusiasm and admiration.
Etymology
German compound word from 'Wunder' (wonder/miracle) and 'bar' (bearing or full of), literally meaning 'full of wonder.' It entered English usage through German cultural influence and the musical 'Cabaret.'
Kelly Says
The word 'wunderbar' became iconic in English through the 1966 musical 'Cabaret' with the song 'Willkommen,' introducing generations of English speakers to German Expressionism—it's a perfect example of how pop culture spreads foreign words into another language.
