Origin

Early 17th century (in sense 2): from French embarrasser, from Spanish embarazar, probably from Portuguese embaraçar (from baraço 'halter').

Although it came into English from French, embarrass was probably based on Portuguese baraço ‘halter’. The first English sense was ‘to encumber or impede’: the notion of difficulty or problems led to the use of embarrassed to mean ‘in difficulties through lack of money’, as in financially embarrassed. The familiar modern meaning was not recorded until the early 19th century.
