Baritone vs. Barytone — What's the Difference?

A baritone is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range lies between the bass and the tenor voice-types. The term originates from the Greek βαρύτονος (barýtonos), meaning "heavy sounding".

In Ancient Greek grammar, a barytone is a word without any accent on the last syllable. Words with an acute or circumflex on the second-to-last or third-from-last syllable are barytones, as well as words with no accent on any syllable: τις "someone" (unaccented) ἄνθρωπος "person" (proparoxytone) μήτηρ "mother" (paroxytone) μοῦσα "muse" (properispomenon)Like the word baritone, it comes from Ancient Greek barýtonos, from barýs "heavy", "low" and tónos "pitch", "sound".
