βαρύς
Lemma: βαρύς
Translation: heavy; severe; intense (adjective)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús), meaning 'heavy'. It shares the same Indo-European root (*gʷerh₂-) as Latin 'gravis' (heavy, serious), which gave English words like 'gravity', 'grave' (serious), and 'grievous'. The concept of physical weight extended metaphorically to importance, severity, and intensity across many Indo-European languages.
