Pronunciation

bari (plural baris)

  1. (colloquial, music) A baritone saxophone
    • 2000 November 24, Neil Tesser, “Baritone Nation”, in Chicago Reader‎[2]:
      A basic 17-piece jazz orchestra never uses more than one bari; to see four lined up in a row you'd usually have to go to an instrument repair shop.
  2. (colloquial, barbershop music) A baritone (singer)

Etymology 1

edit

Back-formation from plural barinjë, from earlier *bar, from Proto-Albanian *bara, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to carry”). Compare Old High German baro (“man, husband”).[1] A connection with ari (“bear”) has also been proposed, though ari was originally arth prior to the loss of the -th ending by mistake.
