Etymology
Analyzable as a compound of 欲 (yoku, “desire; greed, avarice”) + 張る (haru, “o become or to make something tense or taut; figuratively, to hold something intently”).[1][2][3][4] The haru changes to baru as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
Appears in texts from roughly 1763.[1]
Ultimately, likely a shift from older synonym 欲ぼる (yokuboru),[1][4] dating to 1275.[1]
Compare 威張る (ibaru).
Verb
欲張る • (yokubaru) intransitive godan (stem 欲張り (yokubari), past 欲張った (yokubatta))
- to be intensely greedy, avaricious, covetous
