Etymology

Analyzable as a compound of 欲 (yoku, “desire; greed, avarice”) +‎ 張る (haru, “to become or to make something tense or taut; figuratively, to hold something intently”).[1][2][3][4] The haru changes to baru as an instance of rendaku (連(れん)濁(だく)).

Appears in texts from roughly 1763.[1]

Ultimately, likely a shift from older synonym 欲ぼる (yokuboru),[1][4] dating to 1275.[1]

Compare 威張る (ibaru).
