Since late 17th century. Along with the obsolete lok, borrowed from English log directly and through Dutch log, from Middle English logge, logg, of uncertain but perhaps North Germanic/Scandinavian origin.

L’on marque encore les toises que fait un Vaisseau par le loch qui est un morceau de bois d’environ un anpan de long, taillé comme le fond d’une barque, garni de plomb sous son fond pour luy servir de leste, auquel attache un ligne de menuë & fine marquée par toises, & pour s’en servir on jette le loch à la mer par la Poupe ou arriere du Vaisseau, & l’on file de la ligne jusqu’à ce que le loch soit hors du remore du Vaisseau, aprés l’on commence à compter les toises de la ligne que l’on file pendant une demy minute, & si l’on en file six toises le Navire fait un quart de lieuë par heure, si l’on en file 24 toises on fait une lieuë par heure, & si 48 toises on fait deux lieuës par heure, &c.

1698, Jean Bouguer, Traité complet de la navigation, page 136:

We still mark the fathoms made by a Vessel by the log which is a piece of wood about an anpan in length, shaped like the bottom of a boat, lined with lead under its bottom to serve as ballast, to which is attached a slim and fine line marked in fathoms, and which is used by throwing the log in the sea from the Poop deck or stern of the Vessel, and the line is let slip up until the log is out of the delay of the Vessel, after which one starts to count the leagues on the line which is being let slip for a half a minute, and if six fathoms slip the Vessel is doing a quarter of a league per hour, if 24 fathoms slip it's doing one league per hour, and if 48 fathoms it's doing two leagues per hour, &c.

barre

→ English: barre

→ Romanian: bară

→ Vietnamese: ba-rê

From Middle French barre, from Old French barre (“beam, bar, gate, barrier”), from Vulgar Latin *barra, of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Old Frankish *bara (“bar, beam, barrier, fence”), from Proto-Germanic *barō (“beam, bar, barrier”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (“to strike, pierce”).
If so, then cognate with Old High German para, bara (“bar, beam, one's cherished land”), Middle Dutch bāre, baer (“bar, barrier, rail”), Old Frisian ber (“attack, assault”), Swedish bärling (“a spoke”), Norwegian berling (“a small bar in a vehicle, rod”), Latin forus (“gangway, plank”), Russian забо́р (zabór, “fencing, paling, fence”), Ancient Greek φάρος (pháros, “piece of land, furrow, marker, beacon, lighthouse”).

Inherited from Middle French chaloppe (“a sort of flat-bottomed boat”), of uncertain origin, but probably by apheresis from Old French eschalope (“shell”), used figuratively. An alternative theory deriving the term from Dutch sloep appears unlikely, since the Dutch word is attested only much later and the phonetic development is hard to explain; it is more likely that the Dutch term was borrowed from French.
