Explanation: This word is the comparative form of the adjective 'barbaros', meaning 'more barbaric' or 'more uncivilized'. In ancient Greek, 'barbarian' referred to anyone who was not Greek-speaking, and by extension, often implied someone who was uncivilized, rude, or uncultured. Thus, 'barbaroteron' describes something or someone as being more foreign, more uncultured, or more savage than another.
