barricader

/ba.ʁi.ka.de/ noun

A person who mans a barricade.

Word Origin Barricader comes from barricade, which goes back to Vulgar Latin barra 'bar, barrier.' A barricade is a barrier made of barrels, bars, anything to block. The -er suffix makes it 'one who barricades.' The same root barra gives us bar, barrier, barrel, and even embarrass (literally 'to put in a bar' — to obstruct). So a barricader is someone who throws up obstacles, literally building a wall of bars.
