bizarro
  48

Bizarro is brave, gallant, and applies more to military; although it is sometimes used as an irony to qualify otherwise. This happens with its other meaning, which is not yet incorporated into the English dictionary, and is that of strange, rare and extravagant. The origin of this word is found in the Italian bizza ("rage, fury", and then "capricho" ) which was interpreted more as a typical characteristic of the brave and bold soldier, but which the French found overacted and ridiculous. Spanish maintained the original concept, while other languages such as English adopted the French version. Today even the Italians take it as another case of enantiosemia. See berriondo.
