The word BARBER is derived from the Latin word barba, meaning:

  1. Beard

  2. Hair

  3. Style

  4. Groom

The correct answer is: Beard

BARBER is derived from the Latin word barba which specifically refers to hair that grows on the chin and cheeks, also known as a beard. While hair (B) and grooming (D) are closely related to barbering, they are not the true origins of the word. Similarly, style (C) is also a key aspect of barbering, but it is not the root meaning of the word. Thus, A is the most accurate and relevant answer.
