The French word baroque is derived from the Portuguese word barroco or Spanish barrueco both of which refer to a rough or imperfect pearl, though whether it entered those languages via Latin, Arabic, or some other source is uncertain.he term Baroque was initially used in a derogatory sense, to underline the excesses of its emphasis. In particular, the term was used to describe its eccentric redundancy and noisy abundance of details, which sharply contrasted the clear and sober rationality of the Renaissance.
