I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wild' is the definition.
('barbaric' can be a synonym of 'wild')

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for barbaric that I've seen before include "Savagely cruel" , "Savage and cruel" , "Cruel; primitive" , "Like 24 [BRUTE]" , "Brutal and uncivilised" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
