The term "barrelled" is formed by adding the suffix "-ed" to the noun "barrel". The word "barrel" originated from the Dutch word "barel", which ultimately has its roots in the Old French word "baril". The Old French term was borrowed from the Latin "barra", meaning a bar or rod. Over time, "barra" came to refer specifically to a barrel or container made from wooden staves held together by hoops or bars. Gradually, the word evolved to the modern English term "barrel", and the participle form "barrelled" emerged to describe something or someone having a barrel or being stored in a barrel.
