Several meanings popped in my head, thus the ambiguity.

Barrel:

-Of a gun

-As in a small cask of alcohol

Also the latin word is doliolum- which is a small watery creature that looks like it is stuck inside of a barrel as well.

The last refers to the idea of being perpetually stuck in a small cask of sorts, unable to move out of it. It also alludes to the beginning of being stuck in a watery world.

Take as you will.
