Etymonline
Word Origin & History
debar
early 15c., "to shut out, exclude," from Fr. débarrer, from O.Fr. desbarer (12c., which, however, meant only "to unbar, unbolt," the sense turning around in Fr. as the de- was felt in a different sense), from des- (see dis-) + barrer "to bar" (see
bar (1)). Related: Debarment (1650s); debarred (1630s).
