Ultimate derivation unclear. Appears from the early 1700s.
Analyzable as the regular causative / transitive form of root verb ばる (baru), from which ばれる (bareru) derives as the regular mediopassive / intransitive. Compare similar verb paradigms with root verb 明く (aku), causative / transitive 明かす (akasu), mediopassive / intransitive 明ける (akeru), Old Japanese 出づ (idu) and modern causative / transitive 出す (dasu), mediopassive / intransitive 出る (deru), Old Japanese 生ゆ (hayu) and modern 生やす (hayasu) and 生える (haeru).
Cognate with ばれる (bareru, “to be found out; to be all messed up, in disarry”), ばらばら (barabara, “all messed up, in complete disarray”, adjective, adverb). The term ばらばら (barabara) actually appears earliest in texts, starting from the late 1500s, followed by ばれる (bareru) in the late 1600s and ばらす (barasu) in the early 1700s. This suggests the possibility that the adjective / adverb came first, with the verbs then deriving from that.
Possibly related to adjective あばら (abara).

魔羅

Daijisen#Online_search_engines
Kōjien
Nihon Kokugo Daijiten
Nihon Ryōiki
Shinmura Izuru
Tōkai–Tōsan dialect

From Middle Chinese 魔羅 (ma la), in turn a transcription of Sanskrit मार (Māra, “the Destroyer, the Evil One”). The kanji are phonetic ateji (当て字) applied when transcribing the Sanskrit into Middle Chinese.
The shift from "Buddhist evil demon" to "penis" was originally slang use among monks, in reference to sexual desires distracting one from the path to enlightenment.
Some sources link this term to 放る (maru, “to excrete”). However, the verb maru refers to "excreting" bodily wastes in general, not just urination but also defecation, and some sources also list flatulation as an included sense. In addition, other nouns attested from Old Japanese that derive from verbs and end in -a appear to be the result of the action of the verb, which does not fit this case. Ultimately, the proposed connection between Sanskrit-derived mara ("penis") and Japonic-derived maru ("to excrete") appears to be a folk etymology, likely arising from the superficial similarity in forms.
First attested in the Nihon Ryōiki, in a section dated to the early 800s.

[t͡sɨma̠ɾɯ̟]

2021 September 4, “Yakyū ‘tsumaru’ to wa? [What is ‘tsumaru’ in baseball?]”, in Baseball Future:

The most likely cause of tsumaru is that the [batter’s] timing is off. Swing too soon and you will miss the ball or hit it with the end of the bat. On the other hand, swing too late so the head of the bat doesn’t come around and you can easily experience tsumari.

まず圧倒的に詰まる原因となりやすいのは、タイミングが取れていない場合です。タイミングを早めにとってしまうと、空振りやバットの先端に当たってしまいます。逆にタイミングが遅れてしまうとバットのヘッドが出てくるのも遅れ、詰まりやすくなってしまいます。

Mazu attōteki ni tsumaru gen'in to nari yasui no wa, taimingu ga toreteinai bāi desu. Taimingu o hayame ni totte shimau to, karaburi ya batto no sentan ni atatte shimaimasu. Gyaku ni taimingu ga okurete shimau to batto no heddo ga dete kuru no mo okure, tsumari yasukunatte shimaimasu.

(baseball) hit a pitched ball with the portion of the bat near where the batter grips it
