Answer :

Final answer:

The term 'barbarian' originally referred to non-Greek people, later extended to non-Roman cultures, viewed as inferior by Romans.


Explanation:

The word barbarian originally referred to any non-Greek people or culture, as derived from the Greek word barbaros meaning 'foreign.'

Romans later expanded the term to include any non-Roman people or culture, applying it to various groups such as the Vandals, Goths, and Germanic tribes.

Throughout Roman history, 'barbarians' were considered inferior and lands held by them were seen as unsuitable for Roman civilization.
