any alloy based on copper; bronze · object made of this alloy
çekim: çoğul airains
köken: Inherited from Old French arain, from Vulgar Latin *arāmen, variant of Late Latin aerāmen, derived from Latin aer-. Cognate with Catalan aram, Italian rame, Occitan aram, Portuguese arame, Romanian aramă, Sardinian arràmene, Sicilian ramu, Spanish alambre (“wire”).
köken: Borrowed from French bronze, itself from Italian bronzo. See there for further information, but perhaps ultimately a twice-borrowed term from Persian برنج (berenj, “brass”) or Persian پرنگ (pereng, “copper”). Nowadays more common than older مفرغ (mefraġ), from Arabic.
köken: Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀓𑀁𑀲 (kaṃsa), from Sanskrit कांस्य (kāṃsya, “made of bell-metal”). Sanskrit कंस (kaṃsa, “bell-metal”) would yield the same Prakrit term, but other New Indo-Aryan languages point to the long vowel.
bronze (a natural or man-made alloy of copper, usually of tin, but also with one or more other metals) · bronze (a reddish-brown colour, the colour of bronze) · bronze (an object made of bronze, especially a medal, a work of art, a sculpture)

köken: Internationalism via German Bronze. First attested in 1785.
köken: From Proto-Italic *aos, early *ajos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éyos. However, cf. Ringe (2017: 311, fn.32) who notes that “an alternative possibility is that [Proto-Germanic *aiz] actually reflects a preform *áys or *h₂áys, as Lat aes must (Michael Weiss, p.c.).” Cognate with English ore.
Borrowed from French bronze, from Italian bronzo, either from Byzantine Greek βροντησίον (brontēsíon), presumably from Βρεντήσιον (Brentḗsion, “Brindisi”), known for the manufacture of bronze; or ultimately from Persian برنج (berenj, beranj, “brass”) ~ پرنگ (pereng, “copper”).
