Origin

Middle English: from Old French baril, from medieval Latin barriclus 'small cask'.

This word goes back to Latin barillus ‘small cask’. Before refrigerators made domestic life easier, the barrel used for storage was a more familiar object. Various phrases refer back to those earlier days. To have someone over a barrel is to have them in a helpless position, at one's mercy. People rescued from drowning would be laid face down over a barrel to help the water drain out of their lungs, and it is possible that the idea of helplessness developed into one of coercion, although the phrase could derive from the idea of someone forced to lie over a barrel to be flogged. If you scrape the barrel (or the bottom of the barrel) you are reduced to using things or people of the poorest quality because there is nothing else available. Neither of these is recorded until the early 20th century.
