köken: 16th century as Bronzo, Brunzo, directly from Italian bronzo. Since the 18th century adapted to French bronze, itself from the Italian. Further origin uncertain; see the Italian lemma for more. The unusual pronunciation /s/ for ‹z› perhaps developed as a compromise between French /z/ and German /ts/.

köken: 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”).
