bronzo

From Italian bronzo, English bronze, etc.

bronzo (accusative singular bronzon, plural bronzoj, accusative plural bronzojn)

1. bronze

Borrowed from Esperanto bronzo, English bronze, French bronze, German Bronze, Italian bronzo, Russian бро́нза (brónza), Spanish bronce.

• IPA^(key): /ˈbron.zo/

bronzo (plural bronzi)

1. bronze

• bronzizar (“to bronze, tan”)

Several theories exist. Either from Byzantine Greek βροντησίον (brontēsíon) (11th cent.), presumably from Βρεντήσιον (Brentḗsion, “Brindisi”), known for the manufacture of bronze,[1]; or perhaps through a Vulgar Latin *aes brundusi(um)[2][3], from the name of the same city. Alternatively, ultimately from Persian برنج‎ (birinj, biranj, “brass”) ~ پرنگ‎ (piring, “copper”)[4], or from a Latin brundium, linked to the aforementioned Persian word [5]. Less likely linked to Germanic through a Late or Vulgar Latin *brunitius, related to bruno (“brown”)[6].
