"The term Baroque probably ultimately derived from the Italian word barocco, which philosophers used during the Middle Ages to describe an obstacle in schematic logic. Subsequently the word came to denote any contorted idea or involuted process of thought. ... In art criticism the word Baroque came to be used to describe anything irregular, bizarre, or otherwise departing from established rules and proportions."
