The Basque word bizar, "beard", traveled with Basque-speaking soldiers from Gascony, in what is now southwestern France. It originally meant not "curious" or "strange" but "brave". How that meaning came to be transferred is an etymological mystery, though it seems to have taken place sometime in the eighteenth century.
