"Barbarian" is a pejorative term for an uncivilized, uncultured person, either in a general reference to a member of a nation or etnicity perceived as having an inferior level of civilization, or in an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, insensitive person whose behaviour is unacceptable in the society of the speaker. While the latter sense is always pejorative, the former one has not invariably been so, as described below.[1] [Apr 2007]
