baraz

See also: baraż and baráž

Albanian

Etymology

From the synonym barabar by extraction of bar- as a stem and final -az by analogy with other adverbs such as shkaraz, tërthoraz. Perhaps the stem's extraction as monosyllabic bar- and not also possible disyllabic barab- is due to specific analogy to an adverb like mentioned shkaraz with an also monosyllabic stem and not one like mentioned tërthoraz with a disyllabic stem.

Ultimately from Ottoman Turkish برابر (beraber, baraber), from Persian برابر (barâbar, equal).
