Etymology: From baron, late Latin baro, barōnem (not to be confused with classical bāro, bārōnem "simpleton"),
Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
BARONnoun
Etymology: The etymology of this word is very uncertain. Baro, among the Romans, signified a brave warriour, or a brutal man; and, from the first of these significations, Gilles Ménage derives baron, as a term of military dignity. Others suppose it originally to signify only a man; in which sense baron, or varon, is still used by the Spaniards; and, to confirm this conjecture, our law yet uses baron and femme, husband and wife. Others deduce it from her, an old Gaulish word, signifying commander; others from the Hebrew נבד, of the same import. Some think it a contraction of par homme, or peer, which seems least probable.

Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
